Helping Hands™ - For Credit Unions

Taking "Making a Difference" to an All New Level!

"You've blended powerful team development with hope, innovation and satisfying work - it's a can't miss combination"

The CU Philanthropy Group is proud to bring one of the most exciting new events in staff development to the credit union community! Helping Hands is an inspiring team building and process improvement program that delivers much more than traditional  events of this type. During the Helping Hands™ program your group will be challenged to assemble brand new, functional, prosthetic hands that will be distributed through Rotary International to children and adults in developing nations who have lost limbs to land mines, through conflict, disease and birth defects. By participating in Helping Hands™, your team will have a front-row seat and hands-on participation in changing the lives of children and adults that have suffered loss of hand use.

What participants are saying:

  -- "This was “a huge win-win; probably the best team building exercise we’ve ever done; and in doing it, we attained the additional pleasure of helping someone else” reported Mike Swalley, CEO of Dominion CU. “What a powerful way to build teamwork,” echoed Vice-President of Marketing, Natalie Baker. “It’s a rewarding exercise that helps you take a very real look at how your teams truly interact. Not only is there valuable self-discovery, but helping to dramatically improve a child’s life at the same time is a powerful thing.”

  -- "I believe 'Helping Hands' brought our team to a new level of determination to do the right things for the right reasons every day. I believe that “Helping Hands” gave us greater respect for each-other’s strengths and empathy for one another’s weaknesses. In short, 'Helping Hands' bridged the remaining gaps in our ability to function as a team. It was the cement that made us whole. I believe 'Helping Hands' can be that same bridge for anyone who comes to the table willing to open their minds and their hearts to the possibility of the possible." (Brad, Healthcare Systems FCU)

This program combines credit union relevance with a cooperative problem-solving exercise of actually assembling the prosthetics - creating a truly inspiring and educational event. Be one of the first credit unions in the nation to experience this organization-changing program!
