Level Up Youth Program: Building Your Child’s Financial Future
Empower your child’s financial future with LVECU's Level Up Youth Program!
Tailored for ages 0-21, this engaging program teaches essential money management skills through fun games and rewards.
As a parent, you want the best for your child, including a secure financial future. At LVECU, we believe that financial literacy is the foundation for success, which is why we created the Level Up Youth Program. This engaging and interactive program is designed to equip your child with essential money management skills that will help them today, tomorrow, and beyond.
Program Levels & Benefits
Our program is thoughtfully structured into three levels, each tailored to different age groups. This ensures that your child receives age-appropriate guidance as they embark on their financial journey.
Save & Invest (Ages 0-11)
In these early years, we aim to lay the foundation for good saving habits. At this stage, we offer fun and interactive tools to introduce children to money management. One such tool is Level Up Bucks—play money that can be used to “purchase” toys at our locations. We also provide a savings tracker to help kids keep track of deposits and see their money grow. Additionally, we host special events throughout the year to engage our younger members, celebrate their involvement in the credit union, and reward their participation in our youth program.
Learn Good Habits (Ages 12-17)
As teens approach adulthood, developing solid financial habits becomes more important than ever. At this stage, we offer a range of educational resources to help teens build financial literacy. One of the highlights is the Zogo app, where teens can earn points for gift cards while learning about saving, investing, borrowing, and more. They also can explore practical money skills that offer fun games and informative articles. These resources are designed to make learning about finance engaging and accessible for young people.
Financial Independence (Ages 18-21)
In the final stage, our focus shifts to helping young adults achieve financial independence. We offer specialized savings opportunities, as well as advanced resources that guide them through significant financial milestones. Whether it’s buying their first car, understanding home mortgages, or planning for long-term financial goals, we provide the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions as they take control of their financial future.
