ARVADA, Colo. -- A partnership with FoolProof Financial Education Systems, Inc. has Colorado and Wyoming credit unions fired up about the launch of a national financial education and literacy program.

Credit Union Strategic Partners, a wholly owned credit union service corporation of the Credit Union Association of Colorado, will serve as the national distributor for FoolProof, a Web-driven and turnkey financial education tool.

FoolProof is designed to teach people of all ages about money, financial responsibility and the realities of a free enterprise system. The program has two elements: highly interactive "modules" designed for young people which contain videos, articles, audio, games, animation, and music, and year-round adult and youth consumer Web sites featuring videos and podcasts. In addition, the FoolProof Web sites feature breaking news and monthly feature segments.

Credit unions will have access to five turnkey programs. Some credit unions currently using FoolProof include: Elevations Credit Union, Corning Federal Credit Union, DCU Federal Credit Union, St. Vrain Valley Credit Union, University Federal Credit Union and Virginia Beach Schools Federal Credit Union.
