MADISON, Wis.–National Credit Union Youth Month is now underway, with credit unions across the country marking the month-long effort to promote youth savings.
This year's theme is "Unleash the Power of Saving at Your Credit Union” and is “aimed at instilling the importance of saving and developing good financial habits in children and young adults,” according to CUNA.
“Our goal is to help acquaint youth with the spirit of the credit union movement while instilling the importance of saving and developing good financial habits,” said Megan Crowson, manager of consumer engagement for CUNA. “We’re helping credit unions lay the building blocks of a life-long financial partnership with their young members.”
More Than 700 Accounts Opened in 2022
According to CUNA, the National Youth Saving Challenge is one of the many ways credit unions and their members can participate in this industry-wide celebration. In 2022, 713 new youth accounts were opened, and 23,490 deposits were made during Youth Month, CUNA reported.
CUNA said among the resources available are logos, posters, coloring pages, social media cover photos and more. For info: cuna.org/youthmonth.
