At West Community Credit Union, we believe that investing in education is investing in the future of our communities. Our partnerships with local schools throughout the years are at the heart of this commitment, fostering financial literacy, supporting extracurricular activities, and celebrating student achievements.
Engaging with Parents and Teachers
We proudly sponsor and attend PTO trivia nights, events that not only raise essential funds for schools but also strengthen the bonds between educators, parents, and the community. Our team enjoys participating in these lively gatherings, contributing to the shared goal of enhancing educational experiences for all students.
Promoting Financial Literacy with Junior Achievement
Financial education is a cornerstone of our outreach. Through our involvement with Junior Achievement, we introduce students to vital financial concepts, empowering them with the knowledge to make informed decisions. By teaching budgeting, saving, and responsible spending, we aim to lay the foundation for a lifetime of financial well-being.
Preparing Students for the Future
Transitioning from school to the professional world can be daunting. That’s why we participate in mock interviews during career and senior days, offering students a safe environment to hone their interview skills. Our staff provides constructive feedback, helping students gain the confidence and experience needed to excel in real-world job interviews.
Celebrating Student Creativity
We’re honored to support and host the annual Hazelwood School District art show at our Florissant Branch, providing young artists with a platform to showcase their talents. This event not only highlights the creativity of our youth but also reinforces the importance of arts education in personal and academic development.
A Shared Vision for Community Growth
Our collaborations with local schools reflect our dedication to the communities we serve. By actively engaging in educational initiatives, we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, parents, and educators alike. Together, we’re building a brighter, more financially savvy future.
