NCFCU has launched our new Youth Savings Program – The Wilderness Club! We know that youth members are the future of our Credit Union. Therefore, we want to make saving money fun – and rewarding – for our young members.

It’s never too early to begin building a foundation for a strong financial future. At NCFCU, we believe that providing youth with the tools to establish and mange their finances will prepare them for a successful financial journey. Our Wilderness Savings Club branches into four groups that focus on age-appropriate goals to help establish positive financial habits:

Ages 0-4: Sprout Savers

Ages 5-9: Forest Friends

Ages 10-13: Eagle Earners

Ages 14-18: Park Rangers
