Summer Learning and the Iceman

Generations FCU in San Antonio is helping out again this summer with a program backed by Spurs great George Gervin.

David Rodriguez, financial education advocate for Generations FCU, provides financial education classes to George Gervin Youth Center students during their Habitat For Humanity Volunteer Day.

The $421 million, 46,800-member Generations FCU in San Antonio has partnered with former Spurs star George “The Iceman” Gervin for two years now, helping to build financial literacy skills among the more than 70 students who got summer jobs through the George Gervin Youth Center and the Gervin Summer Learning Program.

Along with employment the program provides career development skills and general workplace etiquette lessons, and the summer begins with a GFCU checking and savings account for each student, with 80% of their direct deposit going into checking and 20% into savings.
