YOUTH SERVICES & EDUCATION RESOURCES
Wildfire Credit Union is committed to providing administrators, teachers, parents, and students, with a central resource for financial education.
We recognize the importance of financial education. Our commitment to teaching students about handling their money wisely is extended through our Student Run Credit Union’s located at Heritage High School, John Glenn High School, White Pine Middle School & Hemmeter Elementary.
Wildfire Credit Union’s goal is to educate students and their parents about the importance of saving for both long and short-term goals. Saving money is a life-long commitment and creating the habit of saving now should help ensure a financially stable adult life.
