Bar-Cons Federal Credit Union announced a new partnership with My First Nest Egg, a family-first financial education platform designed to help children build strong money habits early. The collaboration reflects Bar-Cons' commitment to supporting the financial well-being of families through practical, engaging, and community-focused financial education resources.
Through the partnership, Bar-Cons Federal Credit Union will provide families with access to the My First Nest Egg Family App, along with monthly financial education resources, seasonal activities, printable learning materials, and interactive event kits. Together, these tools help make money conversations engaging, approachable, and easy to incorporate into everyday family life while building healthy financial habits that last.
"We are excited to introduce My First Nest Egg's youth financial literacy program to the community," said Stacey M. Foster, President/CEO of Bar-Cons Federal Credit Union. "This initiative is designed to empower young people with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. Participants will learn the value of saving, spending wisely, and giving back to others while developing healthy financial habits at an early age. Our goal is to help youth understand the importance of long-term financial responsibility and provide them with the tools to build a secure financial future. By investing in financial education today, we are helping create a stronger, more financially confident generation for tomorrow."
Bar-Cons Federal Credit Union is committed to doing big things for its members and community through trusted financial guidance, local relationships, and personalized care. As a member-focused financial cooperative, the credit union is dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve lasting financial success while strengthening the communities it serves.
Co-founded by two mothers and former attorneys, Nicolle Hood and Annie Shoen created My First Nest Egg to make financial education more engaging, practical, and accessible for modern families. The platform helps families build healthy financial habits through bite-sized, psychology-backed learning experiences that encourage ongoing conversations around saving, spending, earning, and planning for the future.
"The strongest financial relationships begin long before someone applies for their first loan or opens their first checking account," said Nicolle Hood, Co-Founder & CEO of My First Nest Egg. "We're excited to partner with Bar-Cons Federal Credit Union to help families build trust, confidence, and healthy financial habits from an early age."
