Community Financial’s
Westland branch opened to our members in 2018. Since then, our school
partnerships within the Wayne-Westland School District have grown. Student-Run
Credit Unions are offered at Wildwood and Edison Elementary Schools. We have also
brought financial education to the William D. Ford Career and Tech Center, as
well as John Glenn High School.

Student-Run Credit Union Comprehensive Program
Offerings
The Student-Run Credit Union
program offers many different types of financial education experiences to its
school partners. In addition to bringing access to saving money at schools,
financial and business presentations are offered as well as “Reality Fairs” and
budgeting simulations, mock interviews, and interviewing etiquette skills.
Education Partnership Coordinators are hard at work each day providing these
lessons and skills to students in the Wayne-Westland School District. They’ve
even found imaginative ways to engage these students during an ever-challenging
pandemic!
