The largest young adult credit union network in the world.
We host a passionate online community, lead the acclaimed Crash program, connect mentors and mentees through our mentorship program, and work with credit unions to strengthen their young adult strategy and engagement.
The Cooperative Trust invites the next generation of leaders to experience industry events and partake in professional development opportunities, ensuring credit unions are engaging their staff to win the war for talent.
With collaboration at the heart of the credit union system, the Trust gives young credit union professionals the opportunity to connect with likeminded peers across the industry and globe.
Young people are our future - without them, no credit union can survive long term. That's why we're here: to make sure young professionals in the credit union space have all the tools and resources they need to succeed — ensuring the success of the industry at the same time.
