HARBOR, Ore. — Don't limit your credit union's teen financial literacy efforts to a three-ring binder. Consider hosting a complete Concert for Financial Literacy.
Chetco Federal Credit Union and virtual architectural and social media consultation firm Eloquent Online used the language of lyrics and music to deliver its financial literacy message to over 400 students and faculty. A mix of student performers and live professional musicians were the main event at Brookings-Harbor High School, while Chetco FCU Youth Operations Coordinator Adam Van Cleave spent a few minutes talking about the importance of having a trusted financial partner.
"The whole idea is to reach kids through music. At the same time, our mission is to teach financial literacy to kids so they know what a checking account is, how credit affects them and so on. So, how do we best reach youth? Well, what do they care about–music," said Van Cleave. "We believe this is the first event of its kind in the nation, and we hope to be doing many more of these in the future."
