Providing financial education embodies the movement’s ‘people-helping-people’ philosophy. The theme for this year’s Youth Month is “Unleash the Power of Saving at FFCU.” Together, we’re encouraging our youngest members to open their own savings account (with a parent or guardian’s help), begin a habit of putting money into that account regularly, and learn how compound interest helps their account to grow.

When you open an account or make a deposit into your child’s account during the month of April their name will be put into a drawing to win $100 in CUNA’s National Youth Saving Challenge™.

If you have been wondering how to empower youth to save for their future, National Credit Union Youth Month is a great opportunity to start or boost your youth initiatives by opening an account at Fremont Federal! If you live, work, worship, volunteer or attend school in all of Sandusky & Ottawa County or parts of Seneca & Wood Counties you are eligible to join!

The National Youth Saving Challenge™ is free and open to all youth under 18 who visit a participating credit union during April. While youth are encouraged to make a deposit at the credit union, no deposit is required to enter. Parents/guardians giving permission for their youth to enter can submit on a 3" x 5" piece of paper the following information to the credit union: Name, Date and Current Age. Limit one entry per person. Odds of winning depend on number of entrants. This contest is void where prohibited. In May, Credit Union National Association (CUNA) will randomly select and give a $1,000 grand prize to a participating credit union. That credit union will then randomly select 10 winners from its entrants. Your credit union will notify you if you are a winner.
