Share Your Story Header

It’s the International Year of Cooperatives—the perfect time for credit unions to share how they improve the lives of members and the communities they serve.

We want to highlight—in words, pictures, and video—the great ways credit unions have a positive effect.

We’ll tell your stories here and send the stories you submit to stories.coop, the world’s first global digital campaign to spread the benefits of cooperation through story-telling.

This site delivers the United Nations’ message, “Cooperative enterprises build a better world” to the public during the International Year of Cooperatives.

Ready to tell your story? Here’s how:

Tell us who you are (fill out our registration form below); and
Submit a story, video, and/or pictures highlighting how your credit union goes.

This way, everyone can understand how credit unions “build a better world.”
