Oxford FCU is pleased to announce that they are once again partnering with local JMG programs for the 2023/24 school year.
“Financial education is extremely important to us as an organization, and this partnership raises our level of commitment to making it available,” said Lisa Marston, Oxford FCU’s Marketing Director. “We are excited to offer JMG students the tools and support they need as they prepare for life beyond high school.”
As a financial education partner of JMG, the credit union is making a $3,000 contribution to the program. Oxford FCU will provide financial education resources to students, collaborate with them on community/social awareness projects, and award scholarships to graduating seniors. The JMG program at Spruce Valley High School in Jay will be included in the partnership along with the programs at Dirigo High School, Mountain Valley High School, and Telstar High School.
“We spent a lot of time in classrooms last school year presenting to the students and truly enjoyed interacting with them,” shared Marston. “Everyone associated with JMG is dedicated and supportive, and we are happy to work with them again.”
JMG partners with public education and private businesses to offer results-driven solutions to ensure all Maine students graduate, attain post-secondary credentials, and pursue meaningful careers. JMG is the largest statewide education nonprofit in Maine and is the only educational organization that provides a continuum of support to students from middle school, throughout high school, and onto post-secondary education and career pathways.
“Empowering the next generation with financial literacy is not just a responsibility, but a commitment to their future success,” said Craig Larrabee, President and CEO of JMG. “Our renewed partnership with Oxford FCU reaffirms our dedication to equipping students with the tools and knowledge they need to navigate the complexities of financial literacy. By continuing this partnership, we’re not only shaping better financial decision-makers but also cultivating a stronger, more resilient community.”
