On Wednesday, May 13, Greylock recognized the commitment and effort of the first cohort of Wealth Ambassadors with a dinner celebration.
The event, attended by the ambassadors, their relatives, members of Greylock's leadership team and Board of Directors, was the culmination of a 10-month long program that blended both online and in-person sessions. The program, which initiated in September 2025, was developed to expand the ambassadors' knowledge around financial literacy and deepen their connection to the Credit Union. As part of the program's requirements, participants had to be Greylock members and also submit an application sharing why financial literacy was important to them.
"I'm really proud of this program because it's providing our Wealth Builders, our youth members, with more resources and tools to support their financial wellness. This is a great start for the Wealth Ambassador Program," said Roberta McCulloch-Dews, Vice President, Marketing. "We look forward to this being an annual initiative."
The program included a collaboration between Marketing and the Community Empowerment Center team.
Lucy Grant, a student at Wahconah Regional High School, was one of the participants and said the Wealth Ambassadors program made an impact on her life
"I would say that it's definitely made me feel like I know more than most people my age in terms of how to save money, how to build credit, how to do anything like that, which I think is really valuable," she said. "If someone was coming up to me, and they asked me if they should do the Greylock Wealth Ambassador Program, I would 100% tell them yes, of course, because it's education. You'll meet amazing people. And its information that will carry you through your life. And it's so valuable."
