Credit Unions Advance Financial Well-being Through Youth Financial Education

​As the Minnesota Credit Union Network is recognizing April as Financial Well-being for All month, we are proud to highlight how credit unions are committed to empowering their members and communities with financial education:

​City & County Credit Union
On the first Tuesday of every month, City & County Credit Union hosts a live segment focused on an important financial education topic. In celebration of Youth Member Month, April’s Tip Tuesday focused on how to teach your kids about money including how to earn money, how to save money and how to help your child decide between wants vs. needs.

TopLine Federal Credit Union
In April, TopLine is hosting Get Smart with Your Money™ an ongoing initiative to encourage kids and their parents to talk about spending, saving and sharing their money wisely. Additionally, TopLine has a number of activities for youth of all ages.

​Wings Financial Credit Union
Wings is partnering with EverFi for the National Financial Bee that provides students a fun opportunity to learn financial concepts including daily lessons covering topics from savings, investing, income, debt and more. After completing five lessons, participants submit a short essay sharing their biggest financial dream and the plan to get there. Three winners will receive up to $10,000 in college scholarships.
