Katie BaileyApril is Credit Union Youth Month, a time when credit unions across the nation unite to focus on the financial well-being of younger members. This year’s theme, “A Sea of Savings,” emphasizes the importance of teaching youth the value of saving and encourages them to develop financial habits that will last a lifetime. The goal is to create a ripple effect of financial education that spreads throughout communities, preparing young people for a future of financial security.
In the spirit of collaboration, we encourage you to use these free resources provided by the Maine Credit Union League, including coloring pages, crossword puzzles, word searches, and social media graphics, to help engage youths at your credit union. Whether it’s hosting financial fitness fairs, partnering with local schools to provide age-appropriate lessons, or running savings challenges to motivate youth to set financial goals, there are countless ways to make Youth Month a success at your credit union.
Let’s continue to inspire the next generation of credit union members to take control of their financial futures, one savings goal at a time!
