CONNECTIONS
Doing the math
Here's a look at what Red River Bank University did in 2017 to
contribute to its community's financial education.
In-person financial education
Events: 65
Volunteer trainers: 47
Volunteer hours: 624

Online financial education

Total number of modules
complete: 326
Teach Children to Save

Volunteer trainers: 16 (60 hours)
train social service providers and case
managers who work with economically
vulnerable members of the community,
including those recently released
from prison.
" We started to do the [training] with
the social service providers because
[many] don't feel confi dent in their
own skills to manage their own money, "
Seastrunk says. " How are they
going to help their client who comes
in who is about to be foreclosed when
they're struggling themselves? "
For all ages
Other learning events on RRBU's
2018 syllabus include the recent Teach
Children to Save (for elementary and
junior high students) and this fall's Get
Smart About Credit (for high school
students) events. In 2017, 2,451 students
attended these events. " Our kids
start becoming consumers and thinking
about saving for college in junior
high, " Seastrunk says. " We want to
start as early as we can. "
For adults, Seastrunk says there will
be a big push to off er fi nancial education
in the workplace during lunchand-learn
sessions for employees of
the bank's corporate customers. Following
Louisiana's recent fl oods, another
agenda item is fi nancial preparation
for and response to catastrophes.
All the work that goes into RRBU is
worth the eff ort, Seastrunk believes,
because fi nancial education for local
residents is a community investment.
" If we can help fi rst-time homebuyers,
low- to moderate-income folks, move
toward homeownership in a way that
they can aff ord it, then the whole community
benefi ts, " she says. " The more
homeowners we have, the more people
[there are] taking care of and investing
in their communities, and that raises
the value of our homes and our marketability
as a community. "
Jolene Johnson is a writer in Minnesota.
