Youth Month celebrates the future

Credit unions encourage children to “Picture it! Save for it! Share it!”

Youth Month celebrates the future

April is Credit Union Youth Month, and credit unions are encouraging their young members to build a bright financial future celebrating the theme “The Future is Yours… Picture it! Save for it! Share it!”

This theme encourages young members to look forward to their futures, picture their goals, and learn  how to save money to chase their dreams.

Among the ways credit unions are celebrating Credit Union Youth Month:

• Redwood Credit Union, Santa Rosa, Calif., invited its Jr. Rangers (Redwood members ages 12 and under) to participate in a coloring contest that features Reddy the Redwood picturing his future: a brand-new bike.

One winner from each branch will receive $100. Jr. Ranger members who open a new Redwood savings account or deposit $100 into an existing savings account during April will receive a Reddy drawstring bag with a water bottle.

Jr. Partners (members ages 13-17) are invited to show how they picture their futures by submitting a photo, drawing, painting, or collage. One winner will receive $250. Jr. Partners who open a new Redwood savings account or deposit $100 into an existing savings account during April will receive a green notebook with a pen.

Kids 12 & under have a chance to win $100 in a coloring contest and teens 13-17 can win $250! Details at https://t.co/0Ne3T4wMO5, or stop by any branch! #YouthMonth pic.twitter.com/OGRtPhKzRQ

Children are invited to take a photo at the credit union’s “Dream banner,” and each branch will have fun, engaging activities and giveaways that underscore the importance of saving.

Parents are also encouraged to open a youth savings account during April to prepare for their child’s future. During Credit Union Youth Month, Telhio will match youth account deposits up to $25.
