Here at ICCU, we\u2019re not just fans of finance how-to\u2019s and budgeting quick tips; we\u2019re also suckers for good news. Throughout April, we gathered financial success stories in honor of Financial Literacy Month<\/a>, and we stumbled on one that\u2019s been right under our noses \u2014 at an ICCU branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Darian<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Like most high school students, Darian Miles didn\u2019t spend his days dreaming of a career in banking. In fact, he didn\u2019t know anything about financial literacy until his cousin convinced him to apply for an internship at ICCU\u2019s student-run branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What seemed like a small choice at the time morphed into one of the most pivotal decisions of his life, leading him to a career of leadership, financial mentorship, and community impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Student-Run Branch?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2007, we pioneered our first student-run branch at Mountain View High School, the very school where Darian attended. It was designed to give students and faculty access to everyday banking services, improve financial literacy, and provide real-world job experiences before they entered the workforce and college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just remember being pulled into it,\u201d Darian reminisced. \u201cMy very first job interview was with ICCU. It felt safe because it was all within the school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students work in the school branch during a class period to earn an elective credit, then contribute a few hours after school in a full-service branch for pay. For these high school students, ICCU is often their first introduction to both the professional world and the world of finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICCU currently operates branches within three Idaho high schools: Mountain View High School in Meridian, Owyhee High School in Meridian, and Thunder Ridge High School in Idaho Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a Part-Time Job to a Career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the job, Darian was immersed in professional responsibilities and expectations. He worked with an established branch manager to help others with basic transactions like opening accounts and assisting members with loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was knowledge through a fire hose. I learned everything \u2013 what it meant to work, be responsible, and manage my own accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Darian

After high school, Darian continued with ICCU as a teller but quickly progressed into leadership roles. ICCU has seen great strides with teenagers in these student-run branches, and many are hired as full-time employees after completing their internship, providing them with further experience and opportunities as they grow into adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Darian grew, so did his path within the credit union. He worked at multiple branches, first as a Member Service Specialist, then as a Financial Services Officer. He explored community-based roles as a Community Development Officer and then as part of the Dealer Relations team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, he found his perfect fit and has worked in branch management ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always felt taken care of,\u201d Darian said. \u201cThe support from ICCU made all the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Learning Financial Literacy to Teaching It<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the early stages of his career at ICCU, Darian read The 8 Pillars of Financial Greatness<\/em> by Brian Nelson Ford and worked through the accompanying workbook. As he met with his manager to discuss what he was learning, he moved beyond the basics of budgeting and into long-term financial strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cICCU has created this safety net. It has made me feel invested in and like I matter. \u2026 We\u2019d meet one-on-one with our manager, set financial goals and work through the steps. It helped me understand long-term decisions like buying a house and how to prepare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Darian<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, Darian is paying it forward by mentoring high school interns in his own branch. He has mentored seven to eight interns and delights at the opportunity to teach them what he learned in the very same program years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe work with them, not over them,\u201d he said. \u201cI treat them like regular team members with the same respect and the same expectations. I\u2019m often impressed by their performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darian works with each student one-on-one to explore their money questions, goals, and financial literacy skills. He recalls working through a goal sheet with a former intern who was convinced the sheet didn\u2019t apply to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe told me, \u2018These questions don\u2019t even apply to me.\u2019 But we went through them anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their conversation, he discovered that she hoped to graduate college without any student debt but was unsure how to do it. Together, they created a strategy to reach that goal. He helped her set up a savings account that she couldn\u2019t easily abuse, encouraged budgeting, and created a college financial plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe came back this last Christmas and told me she didn\u2019t have any debt,\u201d he beamed. \u201cThat was the goal, and she has stuck to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Vision for the Future of Financial Literacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Darian is hopeful about the progress schools have made with financial education. In recent years, Idaho has even passed a law that requires personal finance credit in high schools, which prepares students for the real-world decisions that await them after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s going in the right direction, he said. There\u2019s more emphasis on those topics in schools. That stuff is important to know, and not just to get through life but to get through it well and comfortably, and to feel good about where you\u2019re at financially.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Darian<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When asked what advice Darian would give to a high school student on the brink of entering the adult world, his answer was simple: \u201cIt\u2019s okay not to know. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions or start something new. Don\u2019t worry about looking dumb. Come see us. We want to help you figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darian is spot on. If you\u2019re ready to take the leap like he did and become more financially literate, we\u2019re here to help. Browse through our Financial Wellness Center<\/a> to find tools and resources that will take your money strategy to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
