UMassFive is inviting families from across the Pioneer Valley to attend its upcoming Family Fun Day on Saturday, May 30, at its Hadley Branch, located at 200 Westgate Center Drive.
Now in its second year, the event will feature fun activities and resources for children, parents, and caregivers while introducing families to banking products designed to help young members develop healthy financial habits from an early age.
“At UMassFive, we believe financial education starts at home and grows through trusted community relationships,” said Craig Boivin, Vice President of Marketing at UMassFive. “Our Youth and Teen Banking program was created to give families practical tools to help children become thoughtful savers, smart spenders, and, eventually, financially confident adults.”
While attendees will have opportunities to learn about money management and financial wellness, Family Fun Day is designed first and foremost as a community celebration that all are welcome to enjoy.
“Of course, we hope to support our youngest members through financial education and smart savings habits early on, but this event is also another way we’re giving back to the communities we serve,” said Boivin. “It’s going to be a lot of fun, with a scavenger hunt, games, prizes, and sweet treats.”
The Credit Union’s youth-focused offerings are tailored to different stages of childhood and adolescence. Products include long-term savings accounts that mature on a child’s 13th or 18th birthday, as well as checking accounts with debit cards, parental controls, and savings round-up features for children as young as 10 years old.
As a member-owned cooperative, UMassFive continues to focus on helping members build lifelong financial well-being through personalized guidance, accessible tools, and community-centered service.
