For Teachers
We believe strongly in the value of teaching kids about money, which is why we offer free teaching materials and workbooks. Recent studies show that young adults lack the basic personal financial literacy needed to make the most of their money. Workbooks feature chapters on planning, budgeting, savings, credit, insurance and more. Geared to the high school level, they can be adapted for any age.
Please contact Tricia Hale to order your free materials and lessons at 597-2845 or thale@oucu.org. We also offer free classroom presentations by a credit union employee. Contact Tricia if you'd like a classroom visit.
