BOISE, Idaho–Mountain America Credit Union is partnering with Young Money Media to sponsor Young Money University (YMU) for college-age young adults in the Intermountain West region of the U.S.
During September, YMU will be presenting at Boise State University for the first time in part due to support from the Boise State Financial Wellness Program.
Todd Romer, Young Money Media founder, will present on “Do Money Differently: 5 Powerful Steps to Live A Life That Fits Your Dreams” on Sept. 17 at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and Sept. 18 at 9:00 a.m. in the Spec. Discounted parking for $2.25 per hour will be available in the Lincoln Garage, organizers said.
“With only 16% of Americans ages 18-26 years feeling optimistic about their financial future, financial education is vital for future financial success. Mountain America hopes to make a positive impact on the financial futures of anyone who attends this event,” said Tony Rasmussen, vice president of financial education at Mountain America, in a statement.
‘High Level of Engagement’
Added Romer, “I’ve seen a high level of engagement and interest from Gen Z and Millennials to do money differently for the long haul. I am proud to work with Mountain America as they pursue their mission to help members and the public achieve their financial dreams.
The Young Money University Tour will continue through Fall 2019 with appearances at universities in Idaho, Utah, and Arizona.
The $9-billion Mountain America CU has more than 840,000 members
