This month is all about encouraging students to think about their future goals and how saving today can help make those dreams a reality. And what better way to spark creativity and conversation than through art?
🎨 The Youth Art Contest
We’re inviting students to participate in our Youth Art Contest, hosted through our Student-Run Credit Union Program. The challenge is simple yet exciting:
👉 Show us what your dream life looks like and how saving money can help you get there!
Whether it’s college, a dream career, traveling the world, or owning a first car—big dreams start with small savings.
Grade Categories:
Prizes:
Each grade category winner will receive a $25 gift card.
📅 Deadline to Enter: October 24th
🏆 Winners Selected: October 31st
✨ Open to All Students
The best part? The contest is open to all students, whether they are an Atomic member or not. If a student isn’t a member yet, this is a great opportunity to explore the benefits of saving with Atomic and check if their school has a Student-Run Credit Union branch.
💰 Weekly Deposit Challenge
Youth Savings Month doesn’t stop with art! From October 7–31, Student-Run Credit Union members can take part in our Weekly Deposit Challenge.
Here’s how it works:
- Make a deposit each week at your school’s Student-Run Credit Union.
- If you deposit each week, you’ll earn a special prize at the end of the month!
It’s a fun, hands-on way for students to build the habit of consistent saving while also being rewarded for their efforts.
🌟 Why It Matters
Financial habits start early. By connecting saving with dreams and creativity, students can see firsthand how setting aside money now opens the door to future opportunities. At Atomic, we’re passionate about helping the next generation grow in confidence, responsibility, and financial literacy.
So let’s dream big, save bigger, and celebrate the incredible imagination of our youth this October!
