Bayhawk Branch BCPS CTE Spotlight

We’re excited to be featured in Baltimore County Public Schools’ (BCPS) Career and Technical Education (CTE) October Show!

As BCPS’s trusted credit union for over 70 years, First Financial is proud to support the students, schools, and community through meaningful financial wellness initiatives. One of those programs includes the student-run branch network, which brings real-world banking directly into the schools.

In this month’s spotlight, hear from Youth Outreach Manager Cindy J. as she visits the Bayhawk Branch at Chesapeake High School. The student-run branches provide students with a safe and convenient space to manage their finances, ask questions, and build confidence in their financial decision-making.

But the program goes beyond banking. The branches are run by student interns who gain valuable professional experience, customer service expertise, financial knowledge and develop workplace skills that they can apply in any career path.

Student-Run Branches

At First Financial, our goal is to provide financial wellness for all members. By helping students learn how to use our products and services now, we’re preparing them to be financially ready for life after high school and beyond.

A big thank you to BCPS CTE for including us in the October Show! Check out the video to learn more.
