Are you aware that teachers often spend hundreds of dollars from their own pockets to set up classrooms? We unravel the remarkable programs offered by Neighbors FCU that aim to alleviate this burden. From the unique Mascot Checking Program to Project Grants for Public Schools, Betty Mujica-Milano of Neighbors lays out how these initiatives not only help schools financially but also promote financial literacy among students.
We are also joined by Jason St Pierre, the Principal of Walker High School, who shares how having a Neighbors branch on campus has helped fund innovative educational projects. Imagine, every swipe of a card contributing to the funding of exciting initiatives like a TV program, a drone program, or a robotics team! Also, Hagar Brown Anderson, the Vice President of the McKinley High School Alumni Association, gives us an insight into how Alumni Associations can significantly contribute to schools through the use of the Mascot Checking program.
In the final part of our conversation, we delve into the details of securing a grant from Neighbors Federal Credit Union. Betty demystifies the application process and outlines the types of projects that the grants can fund. Jason and Hagar further enrich our discussion by sharing their firsthand experiences with the programs and how the programs have been instrumental in providing resources to students. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or an alumni wanting to support their alma mater, this episode has something for you. Tune in, and let's collectively make a difference to our schools and our future!
