Location: JA BizTown

As the United Nations has proclaimed 2012 the “International Year of Cooperatives” it makes sense for credit unions to get involved and demonstrate how “cooperative enterprises build a better world.”

In the spirit of cooperation, the Northwest Credit Union Association would like to help organize a financial literacy event April 4, 2012.  We need up to 30 Portland-area credit union volunteers to help more than 100 enthusiastic 5^th graders experience Junior Achievement’s BizTown.

BizTown is a “mini city” where young consumers deposit paychecks, act as reporters interviewing local business leaders, run businesses and serve as elected officials – all with your help.  Most of the students attending the April 4^th event are from Corvallis, so their parents are unable to fill the volunteer shifts.

The commitment we need is for credit union volunteers to participate in a 90-minute training session, followed by a half-day of fun with the students.  Having volunteers from a variety of local credit unions will send a power message about the power of cooperation!

Please register yourself, and any other staff members who would be able to volunteer for this event.
