SASCU's workshop work

This episode of It's a Money Thing Backstage features an interview with Erin Stagg, Community Lead at SASCU (Salmon Arm Savings and Credit Union) in British Columbia. Erin discusses how the 80-year-old credit union launched their financial education program in January 2025, using both It's a Money Thing and Each One Teach One curricula.

She shares their impressive results and explains how they built partnerships with their local school district, the challenges of facilitation and their approach to making workshops engaging. The conversation covers best practices for credit unions starting financial education programs, including being proactive with schools, providing everything needed for workshops and gathering feedback to improve the program.
