Area students are offered a free education in how to manage their money. Mainstreet Credit Union is working with Banzai, a national award-winning financial literacy program, to make online, remote-friendly curriculum available to 30 schools in Clay, Douglas, Johnson, Platte, and Wyandotte counties completely free, a press release states.
“Banzai is a web-based financial literacy program. Kids get their own accounts, and they work through assignments that are based on real life,” said Morgan Vandagriff, co-founder of Banzai. “But because Mainstreet Credit Union is sponsoring it, local schools get it for free. More than ever, it’s important that kids develop sound financial skills to prepare them for the real world, and Mainstreet Credit Union realizes that and they’re doing something about it.”
