Financial Literacy

  1. Community
  2. Financial Literacy
We believe that everyone, young and old, should have a strong understanding about how to be financially responsible.
Scroll down to see a few of the visits we've done that promote Financial Literacy!
Are you involved with a school, after-school program, or other youth group?
 
Rocky Credit Union works with Each One Teach One, a Canadian company that provides the material so that we can teach Financial Literacy Workshops. We offer over 15 workshop topics, such as basic budgeting, basic banking, and building good credit! These workshops can be adapted to fit the needs of your age group, whether they are Pre-Kindergarten or High School age. 

Email us at community@rockycu.com for more information, or to set up a workshop for your group!
St. Matthew Catholic School
 
RCU visited two kindergarten classes to teach the kids about money basics. They learned what each coin and bill is worth, which animals are pictured on Canadian money, and the benefits of saving up your money instead of spending it right away.
Charlotte Small Elementary School
 
RCU went to Charlotte Small Elementary School to teach 5th and 6th grade students about creating a business model. The students had the opportunity to come up with their own idea for a business and then learn about how debt, interest rates, costs, pricing, and marketing could play a role in their business. 
Community Connections Child Care Centre
 
RCU happily hosted a group of Community Connections kids for a tour of our branch. Staff members showed them our coin rolling and counting machines, the teller stations, and the inside of the vault. The children learned about safety deposit boxes, the types of currency we keep on-hand, and the different types of bank accounts people can get.
École Rocky Elementary School
 
RCU went to École Rocky Elementary School to teach 4th grade students about the importance of proper money management. The students practiced making sound financial choices and learned about earning, spending, sharing, and saving money. 
Rocky Christian School
 
RCU visited Rocky Christian School to teach 6th and 7th grade students how to avoid personal debt. The students learned to identify their wants and needs, practiced creating balanced budgets, and discovered how wealth can grow through wise investments. 
Pioneer Seniors Centre
 
RCU hosted a workshop about Estate Planning and Fraud Prevention for the seniors at the Pioneer Centre. They learned how to detect scam messages and protect their personal information, as well as the different options for managing the distribution of their assets.
