Now through April 26

San Diego CA— San Diego County Credit Union® (SDCCU®), one of Southern California’s largest locally-owned financial institutions, is participating in the National Credit Union Foundation Biz Kid$ Showcase. The Biz Kid$ Showcase competition has been built to attract and engage young community members, raise credit union awareness and allow students to continue to be creative in our current virtual world.
Beginning at the state level, students, ages 12 – 18 years old, will participate in three learning modules, each focused on a different aspect of business planning. After completing each module, students will work, either as individuals or teams, to create a business plan. Business plans will be judged by a panel of credit union experts from each state. The top three business plans from California and Nevada will be awarded cash prizes and move on to the national portion of the showcase. At the national level, the top three winners will be awarded additional cash prizes.
“We are excited to participate and encourage our local youth to compete in the Biz Kid$ Showcase to create innovative business ideas to further learn about finances, money and business,” said SDCCU President and CEO Teresa Campbell. “Guiding students to register for this opportunity will help lead them on a path to a successful financial future. We look forward to cheering on all contestants!”

Biz Kid$ is an award-winning, comprehensive financial literacy program focused on teaching students how to use credit wisely and about the importance of saving, budgeting, investing and giving back to their communities. The Biz Kid$ program and all episodes are based on national standards for financial literacy and entrepreneurship education, and have been mapped to individual state standards.
