TCUL, Appleseed Foundation In Outreach Program

The Texas Credit Union League (TCUL) has partnered with the Appleseed Foundation to launch a Hispanic Outreach program, with the intent of assisting credit unions in their efforts to bring this underserved segment of the population into the financial mainstream. The campaign will consist of focus groups conducted in Hispanic communities across the state; "train the trainer" financial education workshops; IRnet workshops; serving the new American presentations for credit union staff and volunteers; the development of white papers and more. The first focus group was held March 1 in Dallas, and others will be held in Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Rio Grande City and El Paso.
