We’re proud of our partnerships with Acadiana High and Broadmoor Elementary. Our student tellers are gaining valuable real-world work experience, and the students at these schools are becoming more financially literate while learning to save money.

 

The AHS Branch of Lafayette Schools’ FCU was established in 2002, through a partnership with the Acadiana High School Academy of Business and Finance. Academy students are selected to operate the branch under the supervision of an LSFCU representative. Students receive hands-on training in the financial services industry. All students at AHS have an opportunity to establish positive savings habits by taking advantage of their in-school branch.

 

Our goal at Acadiana High School is to provide students with the basic financial knowledge needed to handle money and credit responsibly. We work hand-in-hand with school administrators, teachers and parents to accomplish this goal. Credit union employees conduct class presentations on money management at AHS and other local high schools throughout the school year.

 

 

 

We also sponsor a savings program at Broadmoor Elementary School. Students learn the value of saving by participate in monthly “banking” sessions conducted by 4th graders. As we continue to branch out into the community, youth financial literacy will be at the forefront of our goals.
