In 1972, the National Youth Involvement Board was created to obtain grassroots input from individuals working in credit unions/leagues and to create a national system for the dissemination of information and resources regarding youth participation in the credit union movement. This was due to the average age of credit union members rising in the 1960s. Credit union leaders recognized the need to reach out to young people to ensure a bright future for the movement.
Today, the NYIB continues to contribute to the future of credit unions by:
Servings as a resource of youth marketing materials and ideas for the credit union movement.
Encouraging excitement and commitment to youth financial literacy. Creating leadership opportunities for the credit union movement. Developing strategic alliances that benefit the credit union movement in keeping with the NYIB mission.
Providing an educational conference that is in keeping with the NYIB mission.
