Our Commitment to Change initiatives are designed to ensure financial inclusion and help close the racial wealth gap, as we continue
to advocate for the 8th Cooperative Principle across the credit union movement.
Key Elements of the Commitment to Change Initiative
1
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the credit union industry allows us to lead by example. From the boardroom to our tellers, our people make the difference and our diversity is our strength.
2
Financial Inclusion for the unbanked and underbanked is consistent with our ability to offer access to fairly-priced financial services for individuals with lower earnings.
3
Closing the Racial Wealth Gap through financial education, small business acceleration, home ownership initiatives, and other wealth building strategies.
4
Community Involvement initiatives supporting the advancement of low-income communities of color through youth development, education, and workforce development.
Our work at AACUC unites the credit union movement to ensure Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and advocates for the 8th Cooperative Principle focused on DEI. We promote financial inclusion and professional development through our support for all credit unions and create bridges between community-based organizations and consumer-focused initiatives to increase opportunity to close the racial gap.
