Ohio Credit Unions Launch Financial Education Aimed at Parents, Teachers, Students
Who: Teachers, educators, public officials, and credit union leaders
Featured speakers:
State
Renee T. Cavor, Deputy Chief of PreK-8 Education,
Metropolitan School District
What:
In addition, speakers will describe other components of the financial education initiative aimed at reaching every school district in Ohio.
Where: Woodland Hills Elementary School
9201 Crane Ave
When:
Why: Most parents try to talk to their kids about making the right choices when it comes to smoking, drinking, and dating. But how many parents educate their children about the financial facts of life? Not many. According to a survey of Ohio adults, commissioned by the Ohio Credit Union League (OCUL), less than one quarter (23 percent) of Ohioans make any effort to encourage financial literacy in their families.
Ohio credit unions are stepping up their efforts as leaders and collaborators in financial education because the financial health of Ohio's youngest citizens is at risk. By turning young people into smart consumers and savers, Ohio credit unions are investing in brighter futures for all Ohioans.
Visuals: Students will be using the MoneyAndStuff.info Web site.

Credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives which are democratically controlled by the members. As not-for-profit financial institutions, credit unions return earnings to their members in the form of dividends, lower loan rates, higher savings rates, and improved service. Credit unions consistently rank the highest in customer satisfaction of any financial institutions, and have been Number 1 in every American Banker/Gallup poll conducted since 1989.
