Kidz R Us Credit Union is a credit union for kids at Eisenhower and Marshall schools in Dubuque and at Ed White Elementary in Eldridge.  The Kidz R Us program provides an outstanding community involvement program while displaying our commitment to youth.  It also creates an opportunity to educate young students about how credit unions work, train them to manage their personal finances, and build relationships with them for the future.  The goal of the Kidz R Us Credit Union is to provide a fun and educational activity, that will help students grow to be good citizens and good savers as well.

The credit union is operated by the 5th grade students at the Dubuque schools and the 6th grade students at Eldridge.  DuTrac Community staff trains these students in every area of the financial arena.  DuTrac Community continues to provide support, training and guidance throughout the school year.

All students at the schools are eligible to participate and become members of our credit union.  Each participant will also be a member of DuTrac Community and will automatically be enrolled in the credit union's Savasaurus Club for children age 12 and under.

Through the Kidz R Us Credit Union association with the schools, DuTrac Community staff also does classroom presentations on financial education and business and credit union procedures.  DuTrac Community also offers tours of the credit union facilities, job shadowing opportunities for each student who works at the Kidz R Us Credit Union and assistance to students in developing "money literacy" to help them plan and save for their futures.
