ALEXANDRIA, Va.–Democracy Federal Credit Union has created a Youth Page to provide financial resources to elementary, middle and high school students as a way of teaching them the importance of money through articles, activities and games. Democracy FCU’s Youth Page offers ideas on how to identify different values of money, tips for acing a job interview and planning for college.
“Our Youth Page provides an educational platform to help students develop healthy savings habits as a way to engage our young members about the importance of credit unions and how we can help them on their path to Financial Freedom!” the credit union said. “The Youth Page also offers a whimsical theme for students to feel a sense of joy in saving for that special occasion. In addition to providing financial literacy, our Youth Page provides activities and tools for students that they can use in and outside of the classroom. We understand that students learn differently and the activities that we chose all provide a valuable resource to students in a fun and enjoyable way that will make them want to keep learning.”
