Financial Literacy

We believe that everyone, young and old, should have a strong understanding about how to be financially responsible.

Are you involved with a school, after-school program, or other youth group?

Rocky Credit Union offers free Financial Literacy Workshops. Our experts will come to you and give a presentation on any topics that would be most beneficial to your group, such as proper budgeting, basic banking, or building good credit! These workshops can be adapted to fit the knowledge-level of your age group, whether they are Pre-Kindergarten or High School age.

St. Matthew Catholic School

During the 2025/26 school year, RCU visited every single class at St. Matthew Catholic School from K-8! For each session, our volunteers present a Financial Literacy slideshow that's curated for that grade level and hand out activity sheets for the students to complete. We always focus on age-relevant knowledge that will get kids thinking about money and forming good financial habits.

Lochearn Elementary School

RCU visited Lochearn School in May 2026 to teach the 4th grade students about personal finance. The students learned about different forms of money, basic banking transactions like deposits and withdrawals, how to put needs before wants, and simple budgeting tactics.

Rocky South 4-H Beef Club

RCU volunteers went out to Caroline to teach a financial literacy workshop at one of Rocky South's 4-H meetings in May 2026. With a wide age-range of kids, we went over the basics of a bunch of financial topics, from credit & debt to budgeting to investing. There was something relevant for everyone to learn, and we got lots of thoughtful questions from this group!

David Thompson High School

RCU went to DTHS in April 2026 to give financial literacy presentations to the Grade 10 & 11 students. Our presenters focused on financial planning strategies as these students enter adulthood, going over useful information about lending, investing, debt, and budgeting.

West Central High School

RCU visited each of the Grade 9 CALM (Career and Life Management) classes at WCHS in March 2026 to give financial literacy presentations. With this age group, we focused on topics such as investing, taking out a loan, and avoiding scams. It's very important for young adults to build good money-management skills.

Homeschool Presentation

RCU happily hosted a group of homeschooled students at our branch in February 2026. The kids ranged from age 12 - 16, and we taught them about banking basics and smart financial habits to form. At the end, we did an investment simulation to learn about risk in a hands-on way.
