Literacy & Outreach Programs

The League of Southeastern Credit Unions (LSCU) is dedicated to introducing and expanding current Financial Literacy and Community Outreach efforts through a program designed for member credit unions to educate members and your community on handling money successfully. Financial Education and Community Outreach are some of the most important ways that credit unions can enhance their mission; "people helping people." The LSCU wants to help credit unions be the first place consumers turn to for reliable and comprehensive financial management information, advice and education.
