From Ramen to Riches – Main Street Bank Partners with Lunenburg Skate Park Project to Empower Local College Students with Financial Education

Main Street Bank, a pillar of financial stability in the
community, proudly teamed up with the Lunenburg Skate Park Project to host an interactive financial education session for local college students. This exciting initiative, held at the Lunenburg Public Library, brought together the community’s youth to learn essential life skills in budgeting, money management, and understanding credit scores—all in a setting that promotes connection and creativity.

The event, which took place on December 30th, aimed to address a critical need among young adults: financial literacy. With college students juggling tuition, living expenses, and often their first steps into the world of credit, Main Street Bank recognized the importance of equipping them with the knowledge and tools to build a secure financial future.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with the Lunenburg Skate Park Project to support our local students,” said Jamie Conaghan, SVP Marketing and Digital at Main Street Bank. “Financial literacy is a cornerstone of personal success, and empowering young adults with these skills today lays the groundwork for a brighter tomorrow.” The session was anything but a typical classroom experience. Students participated in hands-on workshops and engaging discussions led by Main Street Bank’s expert financial advisors. Topics ranged from setting realistic budgets and saving for short-term goals to understanding how credit scores impact future opportunities like renting an apartment or securing a loan. Attendees also had the chance to ask questions about their personal financial concerns, making the session both practical and relevant.

“This partnership with Main Street Bank is a perfect example of how we can combine community engagement with meaningful education,” said Anthony Caiozzo, President of the Lunenburg Skate Park Project. “We’re proud to see our project used to inspire and empower the next generation.”

The event concluded with a lively networking session, where students connected with bank representatives and community leaders over refreshments. Eachparticipant left with a financial literacy toolkit provided by Main Street Bank, ensuring that the lessons learned extend beyond the day.

Main Street Bank’s collaboration with the Lunenburg Skate Park Project underscores its commitment to the community’s well-being and future success. Together, they’ve shown how financial education can be both impactful and fun, proving that learning to budget doesn’t have to be a grind.
