Pelican is proud to participate in National Financial Literacy Month and National Credit Union Youth Month each year by hosting workshops for youth and adults across the state. This year, the credit union is taking their efforts online to meet their members’ and communities’ needs as everyone practices social distancing throughout the month of April.
Parents can visit pelicanstatecu.com/TeamPelican for fun information and ideas for youth financial education. The credit union is also hosting a digital event on Facebook for parents to join for information of drawing contests, coloring and activity sheets, storytime videos, and more.
Adults can learn more about Managing Money During a Disaster through our newest virtual Financial Wellness Workshop on the Pelican State Credit Union YouTube page. In addition to this workshop, they can find the complete #AskPelican series answering questions about credit, finance, and money!
Want access to financial tips and tricks to improve your life, elevate your side hustle, or learn how to extreme coupon during this time? Check out their blog Pelican State of Mind for family, fun, and finance with a Louisiana flair.
Finally, members can speak with one of Pelican’s seven Nationally Certified Credit Counselors to receive a free, one-on-one financial checkup and learn more about managing money all in the comfort of their home! You can request a confidential phone session by visiting the credit union’s website at pelicanstatecu.com/wellness.
If you’d like to learn more about National Financial Literacy Month and National Credit Union Youth Month, members of the credit union’s Financial Outreach team are available remotely for interviews, question and answer segments, and more.
