Greylock Federal Credit Union will be hosting its first Wealth Builders Youth SummerFest, beginning Monday, Aug. 4 through Saturday, Aug. 9.
Youth SummerFest will feature three events in Berkshire County. All events are free and open to the public. This year’s series of events is part of the credit union’s rebranding of offerings for its younger members.
“We’re really excited about the first-ever Greylock Wealth Builders Youth SummerFest because it directly ties into our reimagined engagement with our younger members, those who are up to the age of 22,” said Roberta McCulloch-Dews, vice president, Marketing. “We specifically call this group ‘Wealth Builders’ because we want them to know that wealth building is something that they can start working toward right now. We want to empower them with the knowledge and tools to help create the best version of their present and future lives.”
The SummerFest lineup includes the following:
- Youth Party (for ages 12 and under) 5:30-7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 4 outside the 75 Kellogg Street branch in Pittsfield. The party will feature a food truck, Operation Copsicle, face painting, balloon twisters, games, giveaways, and a live remote broadcast from Live 95.9. Inside the Community Empowerment Center, located in the branch, there will be information on starting the wealth building journey.
- Teen Golf Night, 5:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6 at Baker’s Golf, 633 Main St., Lanesboro. The first 150 teens (ages 13-22) to check in will play for free and also receive an ice cream voucher for Krispy Cones and fun giveaways with a wealth building tie-in.
- “Must-have Financial Aid Tips and Tricks,” 5:30-7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7 at Hilltop Orchards, 508 Canaan Road, Richmond.
