Youth Services

You may be young, but with each passing moment, the opportunity to make more money is slipping away. By not effectively managing your money, you may be missing out on some serious long-term rewards.

You were probably told money doesn't grow on trees. That may be true, but once you open a Happy Savers Account (up to age 13) or Green Account (Apple for members 13 -17) (Lime for members 18-27), money—and the best way to manage it—will grow on you. No more of that mysterious, intimidating, love-hate, passive aggressive confusion. You'll get a really good understanding of money and how it works for you (and not the other way around).

It's very easy to become a credit union member. Just open a savings account with as little as $5.00 and you can start earning dividends.

We also offer Variable Rate Coverdell Education Savings Accounts with no minimum balance and no minimum term.

So where do you turn for financial guidance? We suggest that you visit our Go Green Blog or visit MoneyMix™: Launch Your Life. Designed for adults 18-30, MoneyMix is loaded with articles, blogs and videos on money management. The topics cover the big decisions people your age make every day, and show you how to make the right financial call.

The site also provides insight on budgeting and saving for future goals. It's a golden opportunity to learn how to manage your green, and it’s waiting for you by clicking here.

For younger members, we also have a link to Googolplex® The Credit Union Guide for Student Moneymakers.

Googolplex® is an online magazine written by youth for youth, and deals with money matters and life issues through colorful stories and interactive games. Googolplex reaches youth of all ages- C-Note for high schoolers, AJ’s for middle schoolers, and the Five-Spot for elementary schoolers.


Important information about procedures for opening a new account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens and account.

What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask you for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license and other identifying documentation.
