This year was different than previous Youth Week events where we could not host the event in our branches. However, we presented a virtual Youth Week instead where our young members were able participate at home! Below is a recap of our fun activities which offer financial literacy lessons, craft ideas and more!
Children ages 0 – 12 had the opportunity to color the coloring pages that encourages children to save, spend, share, invest and budget. They were then able to turn in works of art for a chance to win a monetary prize of $15 - $25!
