Did You Know? Empowering Students: Bridging the Financial Literacy Gap
Many high schools across the nation still do not include financial literacy in their curriculum, leaving students unprepared to handle the financial responsibilities of adulthood. Without a solid foundation in topics like budgeting, saving, and credit management, young adults often face challenges as they transition to life after high school.
At New Dimensions FCU, we are dedicated to bridging this gap. Our commitment to empowering the next generation extends beyond offering products and services—we provide hands-on financial coaching designed to teach and inspire financial confidence.
Through our In-School Financial Coaching Program, our expert financial coach, Carrielyn Reynolds, visits local classrooms to deliver engaging and practical lessons on the financial knowledge students need for their immediate future. From understanding how to open their first checking account to learning the basics of credit scores, these sessions provide young students with the tools and resources to navigate life after high school.
But our support doesn’t end there. New Dimensions FCU also offers a range of products and services tailored to younger members, helping them build credit, establish healthy savings habits, and achieve their financial goals. From first-time auto loans to checking accounts, we’re here to guide them every step of the way.
