GLENDALE, AZ – As part of National Credit Union Youth Month, Credit Union West is holding a Facebook promotion that will feature a “caption this” photo contest.
The winner will win a gift card for themselves and a gift card for the special youth in their life.
“We recognize that early financial education is vital to a lifetime of smart money choices,” said Credit Union West’s Marketing Manager Amy Graham. “This is a perfect opportunity to talk about the credit union difference and engage youth and adults through a social media contest during National Credit Union Youth Month.”
The credit union also regularly partners with several education providers to teach youth on topics such as understanding credit score, budgeting and car buying basics. These age appropriate classes are taught by the credit union’s financial education experts in classrooms in both Maricopa and Yavapai counties.
