School Spotlight: Connecting and Interacting During the Summer

Community Financial is a proud sponsor of “Tuesdays are Terrific” at Heritage Park in Canton this summer.  Just one of our many summer sponsorships!

YMCA “Character Cash” Deposit Days

YMCA summer camp students earn “character cash” for helping others, being kind, and doing “the right thing” during camp. Students can then purchase different prizes with their character cash throughout their summer camp experience. 

Instead of making students keep track of their character cash on their own (and potentially losing some along the way), the Student-Run Credit Union program offers “Character Cash Deposit Days.” Bringing the credit union experience to our YMCA campers helps them to keep track of their character cash while learning how to save through a financial institution. Campers also can help coordinate deposit days. After going through the interviewing process, select campers are “hired” for their best-fit job. All campers learn the importance of saving, and are hopefully able to save enough character cash to get one of the bigger prizes offered at camp! 

A YMCA camp volunteer helps fellow campers find their character cash logbook.

Look at all of that character cash!  YMCA campers have great mindsets and are excellent savers!
