The Maine Credit Union League recently received a first-place Desjardins Award for its efforts to improve financial literacy for both youth and adults. The Desjardins Awards honor credit unions, chapters, and leagues for their commitment to youth and adult financial literacy. Although CUNA awarded Desjardins awards to seven credit unions for their commitment to either youth or adult financial literacy, the Maine Credit Union League was the only Desjardins recipient recognized for its commitment to both.
“We at the Maine Credit Union League understand the importance of providing financial education,” said Jake Holmes, the League’s Financial Literacy Outreach Coordinator. “Whether it’s a student, their parents, or simply someone interested in bettering their financial well-being, we’re committed to providing them with the resources and expertise offered by Maine’s credit unions. Those who know more about financial literacy are more likely to be successful, and our mission is to help our members and beyond succeed.”
