		Money Matters All of us at Vantage Credit Union believe in educating students about the benefits of smart saving and spending habits. Unfortunately, these important topics aren’t normally discussed in the classroom. For this reason, we created a series of informative presentations and support materials called Money Matters that cover a variety of personal finance topics. Our goal is to educate as many young people as possible about smart saving, budgeting and spending, so when these students grow older, they’ll be more prepared and successful at managing their financial affairs. We take great pride in providing Money Matters presentations and support materials free of charge to any school, youth group, or community group within the communities we serve. Teachers can use our Money Matters presenters to help teach a variety of financial topics at any grade level. And, presentations can be tailored to meet the needs of individual classrooms or groups. Every presentation covers what credit unions are and stresses smart financial habits. Topics include: Elementary School Level Careers in Credit Unions History of Money Saving Money—How & Why Middle School Level Careers in Credit Unions Creating a Spending/Savings Plan Saving & Investing Using Checks & Balancing a Register What is the Federal Reserve Bank? High School Level Careers in Credit Unions Using Checks & Balancing a Register NEFE High School Financial Planning Program (details below) Based on the philosophy that learning about money is as important as earning it, the National Endowment for Financial Education High School Financial Planning Program was created (with teachers) to increase the financial literacy of America’s high school students. The program’s six units integrate easily with existing course work and give you the flexibility to meet the needs of your classroom. You can request the NEFE materials, free of charge, from Vantage Credit Union and give the presentations yourself. Or, we can help by providing a presenter for one, or all, units. NEFE High School Financial Planning Program units: Unit 1- Financial Planning: Your Roadmap Unit 2- Career: Labor You Love Unit 3- Budget: Don’t Go Broke Unit 4- Savings & Investments: Your Money at Work Unit 5- Credit: Buy Now, Pay Later Unit 6- Insurance: Your Protection Make sure your students receive the benefits of these free and informative programs.
