SDCCU Biz Kid$

Introducing SDCCU Biz Kid$

SDCCU is excited to partner with the San Diego County Office of Education and Live Well San Diego to introduce educators to the SDCCU Biz Kid$ program, a financial literacy initiative that teaches kids about money and business. View our financial infographic to learn more about the importance of financial literacy in our schools. The program includes an Emmy award winning television series from the creators of Bill Nye the Science Guy, free classroom curriculum, outreach activities and a website for kids of all ages. All of the Biz Kid$ episodes adhere to national, state and local standards for financial literacy and entrepreneurship education.
 

The SDCCU Biz Kid$ program provides online resources and now more episodes are available to help educators and parents provide financial education and entertain kids at home.
