Waltham’s RTN Credit Union Provides Seminars For Local Youth

WALTHAM, MA — Waltham's RTN Federal Credit Union and RTN GoodWorks Foundation recently hosted a virtual two-part series on “Money Management” and “Saving and Investment Basics” for Waltham High School Business Club students and Our Lady’s Academy eighth-grade students.

A total of 76 students, ages 12 to 18, and teachers attended the seminars. Two seminars were held in February and the second two were held in March. Topics covered included how to manage money you earn, how to plan for future earnings, how to invest money, and how to think about future debt. These financial concepts were introduced through conversation and interactive questions and answers.

“The material covered in RTN’s seminar is information every high school student should gain exposure to, and it was refreshing to see each topic broken down for teenage learning,” said Michael Wilder, a business teacher at Waltham High School, in a statement.

Founded in 2011, RTN GoodWorks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, public charitable foundation that fosters financial wellness and promotes financial literacy and community involvement.
