Each One, Teach One Financial Literacy Program



Each One, Teach One Financial Literacy Program

Building good financial skills can empower people in our communities to make the right financial decicions for themselves and their families.
That's why Victory Credit Union has joined other credit unions across the country to offer the Each One, Teach One Financial Literacy Program - a plain language approach to building basic fianacial knowledge.

How it works
Througth the Each One, Teach One Program and with the help of community partners, credit union staff volunteer their time to deliver a series of free workshops - virtually or in-person - that cover basic financial topics ranging from an Introduction to Basic Budgeting, Building a Healthy Credit History to Home Readiness and more. Workshops are offered at different times throughout the year with the sole goal of helping participants build financial knowledge in an approachable, easy- to-understand way.

Online Modules
In additon to guided sessions, Each One, Teach One also offers free, online financial literacy modules taht you can explore when and where you want. These self directed courses provide a high-level introduction to some of the most popular topics covered in Each One, Teach One workshops.
The online courses are also great for learning on a busy schedule, with each module taking around 30 minutes to fully complete. While these online courses won't cover everything included in a full Each One, Teach One session, they help you get started in building your financial knowledge.
