Happy National Credit Union Youth Month!

April is all about celebrating and sharing financial education with our youth members. At Alaska Air Group Credit Union, we want our young members to recognize the power of savings, and encourage them to begin making smart financial decisions at any age.

Ways to participate:

Open an AAGCU Youth Account for your child.

Give your child’s financial future a head start and begin teaching them the value of money and saving. Earn 6.14% Annual Percentage Yield on the first $500* on a Take Off Kids Savings Account or Altitude Teen Club Savings Account!

Banzai Financial Education.

Start teaching your child the value of money with help from our free youth financial education courses. Our financial education partner, Banzai, offers fun, interactive, and educational games that involve real-world scenarios to teach kids about savings, income, credit, budgeting, and more!

AAGCU Coloring Contest.

We are once again hosting our annual Youth Month coloring contest! This year’s coloring page is highlighting our famous station stickers.

Download the coloring page using the button below, have your child color it, then bring it (and the signed consent form) to one of our branches, email it to us at info@aagcu.org, or mail it to 2800 S 192nd St STE 106, SeaTac, WA 98188.

We will select three winners to receive $25 deposited into their AAGCU Youth Savings account. One winner in Group 1: ages 5 and under, one winner in Group 2: ages 6-10, and one winner in Group 3: ages 11-17.

Coloring contest pages are available to the general public for download; but only youth members, ages 17 and under, of Alaska Air Group Credit Union are eligible to win a coloring contest prize. Please read complete official rules on the coloring page.

Teach your kids about money. 

One of the best ways to educate the kids in your life about good spending and saving habits, is to talk about it openly! Money can be a taboo subject in many households, but you can begin introducing children to money topics without having to show them the nitty-gritty aspects of managing a household budget.

Check out these two articles from Banzai, our financial education partner, for tips on introducing financial education to children.
