Welcome to BizKids!
BizKids is a national financial literacy initiative from the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) that teaches kids about money and business. BizKids engages young people and helps them develop life skills in areas of financial literacy and entrepreneurship. The kids learn how to build business plans, budget, and create their own companies!
Each BizKids episode shows kids how to make and manage money. To keep young viewers engaged, the series includes a fast-paced mix of direct education delivered by young actors, sketch comedies, and stories featuring real-life young entrepreneurs. BizKids uses the power of television to teach students how to use credit wisely and reinforces the importance of budgeting, saving, and giving back to the community.
Since 2017, Guadalupe Credit Union has been partnering with the City of Santa Fe Summer Youth Program, helping the next generation of Santa Feans develop important skills and have fun in the process. This year, we are opening the program to any kids ages 5-18 who live in the counties we serve: Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Taos, Mora, Colfax, and Torrance counties.
