April brings together two things we love at SECU: volunteering in our communities and advancing financial literacy and education in Maryland.
With National Volunteer Month and Financial Literacy Month happening at the same time, you know we’ll be out and about, spreading kindness and knowledge from Frostburg to Salisbury. This post will recap some of those event so you can follow along and see our impact. Check back throughout April to see where we’ve been and what we’ve done.
Towson University and Community College of Baltimore County
Unfortunately, nearly half of all college students reported food insecurity in the past 30 days.
To combat this growing problem, a group of 18 SECU volunteers spent time assembling hundreds of ready-to-go snack bags for Towson University and Community College of Baltimore County students. These snacks will allow students to focus on what they’re in college to do: study, learn, grow, and work on becoming Maryland’s next generation of leaders.
Money Masters Challenge at University of Maryland
SECU hosted this energizing and fun-filled event in partnership with the Collegiate Financial Management Association. We welcomed five student teams who competed in a series of field day–style financial education challenges, including a fast-paced credit relay and an interactive financial quiz. Teams went head-to-head for cash prizes benefitting their student organizations, bringing both excitement and friendly competition to the event. The event blended financial education with hands-on fun, leaving students energized, informed, and eager for future Money Masters challenges.
