RCU believes good saving habits begin at a young age. That's why we started RCU School $ense. We opened our first elementary site in 1993 and since then we continue to add new schools every year.

Apply for an RCU Savings Account.

Elementary School Site Programs

Every school year, we hire 4th and 5th graders to work at our school site branches. Those interested complete an application and go through an interview. Once they are hired, they complete a training program to learn the computer system, confidentiality, Member service, marketing, and much more!

The school site is open once a week
(some in the mornings, others over the
lunch hour) so students and faculty can
make deposits into their RCU account.
For every fourth deposit they make, they
receive a prize that ranges from key
chains to erasers to pencil sharpeners.
For every 500 deposits made at our
school site, the school receives $250
from RCU. It's a great fundraiser for the
school, and the students become great
savers. During the 2011 school year, students and faculty at all the school
sites combined saved over $438,000.

Middle School Site Programs

The middle school site is staffed by 6th,
7th, and 8th grade students using the
same hiring and training process as
the elementary schools. Student team
members perform deposits and
withdrawals for students and faculty.
They are also involved in the design and
creation of in-school marketing materials. Rewards are given to the students for accumulated deposits, and the school receives donations based on the number
of deposits made. By partnering with the
middle school, RCU encourages and
reinforces the basic principles of
saving money.

High School Site Programs

Employees are hired from the Business
Youth Apprenticeship and Financial Youth
Apprenticeship programs. This is the
perfect job for students involved in other
school activities.

Open for both students and faculty, the
high school sites offer most of the same
services as any other office. High school
site team members also work as tellers
at our other offices.

Locations are open during lunch on the
following days:

Colby High School – Thursday

Eau Claire North – Tuesday & Friday

Eau Claire Memorial – Monday & Thursday
