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!
Join us for a fun and educational day where our enthusiastic Financial Coach, Carrielyn, will be on-site sharing peat pots, nutrient-rich soil, charming coin-shaped seeds, and our delightful LEGO banks.
As children gather around, Carrielyn will lead an interactive discussion about the importance of planting their savings and nurturing them over time. Each child will have the chance to work alongside an adult to plant their own “savings seeds”—a hands-on activity that symbolizes the exciting journey of money management.
With care and attention, these unique seeds can sprout and thrive, just like their savings! Since children often mirror the behaviors of the adults around them, witnessing grown-ups discuss and demonstrate saving helps encourage them to develop healthy financial habits early on.
This event promises not just fun and creativity, but a memorable experience that plants the seeds of financial wisdom for years to come!
