\u201cInvesting in the youth, demonstrates our commitment not only to the improved well-being and livelihoods of our youth, but also to the economic, social and cultural development of future generations. We believe that financial problems can be fixed with education and not with money,\u201d said Jennifer Whyte, General Manager of SJCCU.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that financial education should be a continuous process, from childhood to adulthood. The imagination, ideals and energy of our young men and women are vital for the continuing development of our society,\u201d said Gabrielle Martin, Courts Ready Cash Manager<\/p>
