Dive Into Credit Union Youth Month with Sammy the Savings Squirrel this April!
This April, Forest Area Federal Credit Union is celebrating National Credit Union Youth Month with fun, prizes, and a special treasure hunt adventure for kids and families!
At FAFCU, we believe it’s never too early to start learning smart money habits. That’s why Sammy the Savings Squirrel is inviting young savers to join the Trailblazer Youth Account Program and take part in Sammy the Savings Squirrel’s Treasure Hunt: a fun scavenger hunt that helps kids discover the basics of saving while exploring the credit union.
Join Sammy’s Treasure Hunt!
Trailblazer Youth Account members get exclusive access to Sammy the Savings Squirrel’s Treasure Hunt: an interactive scavenger hunt inside our branches.
Young adventurers will follow clues, learn about saving, and complete their treasure hunt sheet along the way. When they finish the hunt, they can turn in their completed sheet to claim a special prize: FAFCU swim goggles for your next adventure! Stop by any FAFCU branch to get started and pick-up a treasure hunt map, or download and print one here!
Extra Youth Month Bonuses
New Youth Accounts always earn a bonus deposit match up to $20 with their first deposit ($10 minimum) to help kickstart your child’s savings journey. PLUS, every new Youth Account opened in April helps your community!
