SEFCU's Institute for Financial Well-Being is setting the standard for financial education offered by a credit union. This year, our focus is on advancing the model across the state and nationally to assist organizations in providing credible resources to support member groups, community organizations, and individuals' access to financial education.
Through several summer youth employment programs and camps in the City of Albany, Schenectady County, Syracuse, Buffalo, and Binghamton, SEFCU's team of financial educators will help hundreds of youth understand the importance of financial responsibility and how to achieve it.
SEFCU's Institute for Financial Well-Being was honored with the New York Credit Union Association's 2018 Desjardins Youth Financial Education Award, an award created to recognize model credit union efforts to provide personal finance education concepts and skills to individuals under age 18.
