“I helped build the Schools Program from the ground up. It is very fulfilling watching the development of Youth as they are exposed to financial literacy. In our branches, students work in a live environment while at school, processing the basic transactions available in any branch office. Some have continued their involvement after graduation, working at Redstone Federal Credit Union as a career. Whether they continue in the financial industry or not, they receive valuable life skills that will be a benefit to them throughout their lifetime.”
