CORVALIS, Ore. — With the launch of brass|Student Program NY it seems that life has come full circle for brass|Media Inc. CEO Bryan Sims and credit unions are gaining recognition as financial literacy partners.

A collaboration among 19 sponsoring New York credit unions, publishing firm brass|Media, the New York Credit Union Foundation, the New York State Education Department and the Business Teachers Association of New York State, the two-year pilot program launched this fall is designed to help high school juniors and seniors better understand the importance of money and how it impacts their lives.

"It is great to offer something like this with credit unions for high schools," said Sims. "Especially since I came up with the idea for brass in my high school business class. Now credit unions are helping over 200,000 young adults across the nation receive brass."
