Celebrate Credit Union Youth Month this April!

April is Credit Union Youth Month, a time to celebrate and encourage financial learning for kids and teens. Teaching children good money habits early can make a big difference in their future. Here are some simple ways to get your kids involved and excited about saving and managing money:

Open a Custodial Account

A custodial account allows parents or guardians to manage money on behalf of a minor while giving kids the chance to watch their savings grow. It’s a safe way to teach responsibility, set goals, and give children a real sense of ownership over their money.

Make Savings Fun

Turn saving into a game! Use jars, charts, or apps to track goals. Celebrate small milestones to keep kids motivated.

Teach Smart Spending

Help kids understand that money is limited. Encourage them to make choices: save for something big, spend a little now, and even share a portion with others.

Set an Example

Kids learn by watching. Show them how you budget, save, and make thoughtful spending decisions. Even casual conversations about money can leave a lasting impression.

Explore Financial Literacy Resources

Take advantage of TEG’s educational resources, and tools designed for young savers. Learning about money doesn’t have to be boring, it can be interactive and fun!
