CP Federal Credit Union Youth Program

"Investing in Our Youth" is the motto of the CP Federal Credit Union Youth Program.  It is our goal to provide real life financial experiences and information to the youth in our community in order to nurture financially productive adults.

• To create an educational environment in which young people will have hands on experience in a financial setting.
