First Community Credit Union is partnering with the Lindbergh Schools Foundation as a 2024-2025 Year-Long Aviator Sponsor. Originally chartered in 1934 as Missouri's first credit union, First Community is now the largest credit union in St. Louis and among the 100 largest credit unions in the United States. Its mission has always been to serve members as a not-for-profit financial cooperative, providing low-cost loans while returning profits to members through dividends, ensuring financial empowerment.
For over 90 years, First Community has remained dedicated to enhancing its members' financial well-being. The organization has consistently focused on promoting prudent financial decisions, encouraging savings, and supporting significant purchases like homes and vehicles. Over time, they have expanded their services to include First Community Realty and First Community Insurance Agency, providing comprehensive support to members at every stage of life.
The partnership between First Community and the Lindbergh Schools Foundation reflects a shared commitment to education, empowerment, and preparing individuals for future opportunities. First Community is particularly excited about its new full-service branch opening in Sunset Hills this spring, conveniently located at Lindbergh and West Watson.
Education and financial literacy are key to lifelong success, and First Community is passionate about supporting initiatives like the Lindbergh Schools Foundation. The Department of Community Events and Education engages thousands of students annually through classroom presentations on saving, smart spending, and financial responsibility. By equipping young people with the tools to make informed financial decisions, First Community helps foster a generation of financially empowered individuals.
“We are proud to support scholarships and alumni initiatives, and we look forward to increasing awareness of the many opportunities First Community offers,” says Marie Wright, Marketing Programs Coordinator at First Community. “In the coming years, we hope to see more graduates join our team and build their careers with us.”
The financial industry offers a wide range of career opportunities, from entry-level positions such as Financial Service Consultants to executive roles like Chief Financial Officer, overseeing the financial health of an organization serving over 400,000 members. First Community encourages students to explore finance as a career path, offering both professional growth and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on others' financial success.
Lindbergh Schools Foundation is honored to partner with First Community Credit Union as a 2024-2025 Year-Long Aviator Sponsor, working together to build a stronger, more financially secure future for the community.
