Our employees are often found engaging in fundraising and awareness efforts outside of the credit union and volunteering their time for causes throughout the year. We are very active with community organizations and needs that have an educational component or impact, staying true to our roots as an educational credit union. When everyone in our community does better, we are all enriched.
