Financial Education

The ability to make informed, effective decisions about using money is key to a family’s stability and to the strength of a community. We want to ensure that every member of our communities, at any age, has access to resources that will help them make informed financial decisions. Whether we are helping kids understand the importance of saving, showing a college student how to use credit wisely, or helping to remove a family’s barriers to homeownership, Huntington believes in the power of financial education. Our community focused Financial Education Programming teaching students of all ages the importance of a financially fit life, and what steps can be taken to grow their financial wellness potential. Additionally, it allows us the opportunity to share our best asset, our people within the community to lead these educational experiences.
