Forsyth High School more
than a year ago. Students
who have worked at the East
branch have gone on to
secure jobs with Truliant
al'lcr graduation, credit
union officials said.
A dozen students take
turns manning the Wiley
Credit Union - which has
been open since Feb. 8 - on
Wednesdays from 11 a.m.
12:30 p.m. The school's
location has a teller window
and a computer to allow stu
dents to access member
accounts. Jafonda Johnson,
the manager of Truliant's
Victory Masonic Mutual
Credit Union on Waughtown
Street, will oversee the
Wiley location.
Last week, eighth-grader
DaNajah O'Neal, 13, was at
the window. She processed a
couple of small transactions
just after the ribbon-cutting.
She said she's already
learned a lot about both team
work and working with dol
lars and cents - skills she
believes will help her down
the line.
"It's exciting," she said.
"I think it'll help me when
I'm getting ready to go to
college and applying for dif
ferent jobs."
