Velera’s Post

Velera is excited to announce that we've launched a credit union-focused partnership with 3DE Schools by Junior Achievement USA, an innovative model for public education focused on reengineering high school in order to provide economic opportunity for all students. Under the brand "Credit Unions Nationwide," Velera, as the lead sponsor for this case study, is partnering with 14 credit unions in six U.S. cities — Atlanta; Tampa; Houston; Kansas City; Minneapolis; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "Velera is extremely proud and excited to have the opportunity to establish a partnership with 3DE by Junior Achievement on behalf of the credit union industry. Many credit unions already work with Junior Achievement at the local level, and we are energized to elevate credit union involvement on a larger scale and supplement the great work already taking place,” said Velera President and CEO Chuck Fagan. ➡️ Read the press release: https://bit.ly/3Lnw1it #CreditUnionsNationwide #WeAreVelera #CUDifference
