Helping Youths and Teens Build Brighter Financial Futures

Play Games, Make Friends, Learn to Be Money Smart

At USA One, we understand that the path to financial independence begins at an early age. Skills children and teens learn now can help them make smarter money decisions down the road—from managing money and budgeting to saving for the future and using credit wisely.

To bring financial learning to life, we've partnered with Googolplex. They offer three websites that feature interactive games, videos and colorful stories dealing with money matters and life issues. Each Googolplex site is targeted to a specific age group—5-Spot for elementary students, A-J's for middle school students, and C-Note for high school students.

5-Spot's clubhouse has an all-new look and new features! Introduce elementary schoolers to important financial concepts by igniting their natural love of play with highly interactive games, stories and more. Kids can:

• Earn virtual money by playing games and reading stories;
  spend it decorating a personal virtual clubhouse

• Practice saving, spending and sharing
• Learn that their credit union wants to help them with their real-world financial goals

A-J's offers a fun meeting place, encouraging creative interaction while educating middle schoolers about money and responsibility. Students can:

• Vote on plot developments for a teenage comic series teaching money management
• Write notes to their friends using a note posting feature
• Build their own super-hero identities using the new 'League of Heroes' theme

C-Note stimulates high schoolers with interactive features that teach money management skills. Students can:

• Have a chance to win and save money by entering photo contests
• Reach out to others using a moderated comment feature and blog posts
• View entertaining student-created videos that provide financial lessons
