The Hudson Valley Renegades and Heritage Financial Credit Union have partnered to design an Education Program to bring the excitement of education and baseball to local elementary schools throughout the Hudson Valley! While conveying the excitement of baseball, this program has been crafted to promote core values such as honesty, integrity, and teamwork.

The Education Program is designed for elementary students in grades K through 6. For the launch of the program in 2023, Hudson Valley Renegades and Heritage Financial Credit Union staff and team mascot(s) will visit three local elementary schools. Representatives in attendance will share their experiences in professional baseball while stressing the importance of teamwork and financial literacy.

Schools will be allotted a two and a half hour time block, which will allow for education and interaction with three to four classrooms. Classrooms will receive a maximum of 45 minutes of educational programming. Programming will be distinguishable according to grade level and classroom environment. Teachers have the ability to provide recommended content to be shared during the visit, which is strongly encouraged.

Each student in the participating classroom receives an Education Program branded Hudson Valley Renegades folder and bookmark!
