The Federation has four special-interest networks for CDCUs to share issues and innovations distinctive to their memberships:

• Faith-based Credit Union Network - Our Faith-based Credit Union Program coordinates our training, technical assistance, and capital services to faith-based credit unions and organizing groups. It continues to be one of the few programs in the credit union movement that provides services that address the specific needs of small, religious-affiliated institutions.
   
• Latino Credit Union Network - The Federation is the only national organization offering special programs for credit unions that have majority or substantial Latino memberships. Among the distinctive issues addressed by these credit unions are the need for bilingual and bicultural marketing, immigration-related issues and member demand for cost-effective channels to transfer money to relatives in their home countries. In 1994, the Federation convened the first informal gathering of credit unions serving Latino members, which eventually grew into our Latino Credit Union Network.
   
• Youth Credit Union Network - The Federation's Youth Credit Union network is a group of community development credit unions that have a special interest in serving their youth constituents. These credit unions share ideas, work together, and do collaborative programming.

• New York/New Jersey Community Financial Network - Through our New York/New Jersey Community Financial Network (NYCFN), the Federation provides training, special programs, and assistance obtaining resources to member credit unions in the New York metropolitan area.
