Encourage younger members to save for a rainy day.

During April, credit unions across the country celebrate National Credit Union Youth Month and National Financial Literacy Month. While credit unions take financial education seriously all year, April provides even more opportunities to work with members and community partners to promote financial wellness.

To help your credit union tailor your efforts to younger members, we encourage you to join your League in promoting the theme “Save Away for a Rainy Day.” When kids learn about the importance of saving money for the future, they are laying the foundation for financial success.

If you’d like to participate, we are delighted to point to graphics and sample messaging that credit unions can share on their social media channels. The hashtag #CUYouthMonth can also be used on social media to demonstrate the power of our collaborative efforts. The messaging can be edited and customized to reflect your credit union’s brand. Also included are coloring pages and a word search to help engage younger members.

The Maine Credit Union League created these materials and is sharing them with us so CU Youth Month can continue. Our movement is all about people helping people and collaboration.
