At Liberty Savings, we join credit unions from all over for a month-long youth celebration each year. This year’s theme is Credit Union Strong.
“What is Credit Union Strong,” you ask?
Young people face a bewildering financial landscape in their immediate future—one where technology has made spending as easy as breathing and the cost of higher education continues to skyrocket. That’s why we believe it’s so important to ensure our youth possess strong money management skills.
As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, our core values include member education and social responsibility. We care about the community where we live and work, and the people in it. We look forward to watching the next generation grow and make it even better.
By instilling the habit of saving at a young age, offering positive encouragement, and providing financial education, we can prepare our community’s youngest members for brighter futures by helping them grow into financially capable adults. Credit union strong means having the money skills to embrace an awesome future, and leaving your community better than you found. That’s why we take our mission of helping youth so seriously.
Of course, we realize the biggest influence on anyone’s life is his or her parents. Just like keeping them healthy with exercise and smart meal choices, you can start them on the path to financial strength by participating in Credit Union Youth Month.
We have the tools to help them better understand their finances, and incentives to keep them pumping up their savings. They’ll be financial fitness buffs in no time!
