THE TOGETHER FOUNDATION
Supporting the dreams of the communities we serve.
The Together Foundation at Together Credit Union
The Together Foundation focuses on four areas to help young people and their families build their financial knowledge and skill-set to achieve life-long financial independence and success.
Young Children and Parents
We use age-appropriate materials that are educational and fun to introduce children ages four to eight to very basic financial concepts that have relevance in their lives. Parent involvement is a key component of this focus area as we help parents develop the habit of open communication with their children about money, savings, and family finances.
Middle School Youth
We aim to give sixth through eighth graders the financial knowledge they need to be smart financial consumers before they earn their first paycheck. Hands-on opportunities such as opening a savings account and working on entrepreneurial projects is part of the focus area for this age group.
First Job and First Financial Relationship
We provide teens and young adults with financial education and banking services as they enter the workforce for the first time. Real-life budgeting and saving as well as an entrepreneurial curriculum builds on their knowledge, and equips them with the tools needed to manage their personal finances.
Young Adult Transitions
This focus area addresses the critical period when young people begin their journey to independence by entering college, military service, or the workforce. With special attention to school loans, credit health, and the importance of savings, we use social media and mobile banking innovations to reach young adults in an accessible, relatable way.
