April is National Credit Union Youth Month

Teaching kids and teens about money can be easy with help from Sunward. From youth accounts to free education for teens, we have recommendations to help teach money management at any age.

SAVINGS LABORATORY® FOR 3- TO 12-YEAR-OLDS

If you’re looking for a fun way to teach your child about developing healthy, lifelong saving habits, consider enrolling them in Sunward's Savings Laboratory! This program is a great way to teach kids about the benefits of credit union membership while helping them reach their savings goals. Plus, they can earn great prizes along the way!

TEEN ARTICLES FOR 13- TO 17-YEAR-OLDS

Sunward teens can submit articles for our Dollars & Sense newsletter about their experiences with money. This is a great opportunity for teen members to not only earn $100 but also improve their writing skills and add “published author” to their résumés!

Here are some topic ideas for your teen to consider:

  • Teen business and money-making ideas
  • Lessons learned from a first job
  • Navigating the world of digital finance
  • How to financially prepare for college
  • Protecting your money and your identity
