April is Youth Month at NDFCU!
At New Dimensions Federal Credit Union, we’re proud to join credit unions across Maine and the country in celebrating National Credit Union Youth Month and National Financial Literacy Month. While financial education is at the heart of what we do throughout the year, April provides us with an extra-special opportunity to inspire and empower our youngest members.
We continue the theme, “Small Steps – Big Impacts,” which reminds us that helping kids understand the value of saving sets them on the path toward lifelong financial success. We’re excited to share tools, resources, and engaging activities that help young people develop smart saving habits and build financial confidence.
Follow along with us throughout the month and join the conversation using #CUYouthMonth as we work together to create a brighter financial future—one young saver at a time.

In celebration of Youth Month, our Financial Education team is thrilled to host a vibrant event at Educare Central Maine in honor of Teach a Child to Save Day!
In celebration of Youth Month, our Financial Education department was invited to participate in a vibrant event at Educare, a comprehensive early learning and development school in Waterville. The event is dedicated to promoting “Teach a Child to Save Day.” During this fun-filled day, our enthusiastic Financial Coach, Carrielyn, will be on-site distributing peat pots, rich soil, charming coin-shaped seeds, and our delightful Lego banks.
As children gather around, Carrielyn will engage them in an interactive discussion about the vital importance of planting their savings and nurturing them as they grow. Each child will have the opportunity to work with an adult to plant their own “savings seeds,” which symbolize the exciting journey of money management.
With careful nurturing and a watchful eye, these unique seeds can sprout and flourish, just like their savings! Children naturally tend to mirror the behaviors of their parents. By observing adults who talk about saving, they will be inspired to embrace the idea of saving for their future as well. This event promises to be not just educational but also a memorable experience that plants the seeds of financial wisdom for years to come!
