Grant Opportunity for Residents Pursuing Skilled Trades
Residents exploring careers in the skilled trades now have access to a new grant program aimed at helping cover educational or career-related costs.TCT Federal Credit Union recently launched its TCT Supports the Trades Grant, open to credit union members aged 16 and older who are either currently enrolled in or have completed a trade program and demonstrate financial need.The program is part of a regional push to connect skilled workers with steady, in-demand jobs. Employers such as Eastern Castings, Fort Miller Group, Hudson Headwaters, and IBEW Local 236 are just a few of the organizations TCT supports through its membership base — and all reflect the kinds of industries where skilled labor is urgently needed.“There are jobs in our communities that offer competitive salaries through a trade education, and we want to help them achieve their goals,” said Curt Cecala, CEO of TCT.The grant is now accepting applications. 🔗 Details and application info: www.tctfcu.org/grantsTCT maintains a branch here in Cambridge and has served the tri-county region since 1959. While the Village does not endorse any specific institution, we’re sharing this information as a public service — to help connect residents with tools, funding, and opportunities that support their goals.

Saturday, April 26th is shaping up to be a true community day in the Village of Cambridge. From Durrin Park to the Cambridge Fire House, neighbors and families are invited to step out, pitch in, and connect with one another.🌳 The Tree Committee’s Arbor Day Festival kicks off at Durrin Park from 10AM - 2PM, with a celebration of spring — think trees, flowers, and community pride. It's the perfect time to clean up the yard, plant something new, or just enjoy the fresh air and friendly faces.🚒 Just across the way, the Cambridge Fire Department will be holding its RecruitNY Open House starting at 9AM. Residents of all ages can tour the firehouse, try on gear, meet local volunteers, and learn how to get involved — no firefighting experience required! There are all kinds of support roles available, and volunteers enjoy lifelong benefits: personal growth, professional development, and deep respect from the community.Whether you're planting a tree or thinking about stepping up for public service, April 26th is the day to get involved. The more we show up for each other, the stronger our village becomes — not just Cambridge, but the towns of White Creek and Jackson, too.Want to learn more about volunteering?

From the Office of the Mayor:Cambridge has a quiet strength—a web of small groups and gatherings that connect neighbors, build friendships, and make this place feel like home. Some are long-standing. Some are new. Many are known only to a handful of folks.We’d like to change that.We’re creating a community directory to spotlight the many clubs, circles, and coalitions—formal or informal—that help stitch the social fabric of our village and surrounding area. If a group brings people together, we want to help others discover it.Knitting groups. Snowmobile clubs. Book clubs. Choirs. 4-H. Walking circles. Craft nights. Faith groups. Music ensembles. Whatever the form, if it fosters connection, creation, or contribution—we want to hear about it.How to Share: Please send us the name of the group, a short description, and (if possible) a contact person:📧 clerk@cambridgeny.gov📞 518-677-2622💬 Or message us directly on Facebook at: facebook.com/VillageofCambridgeNYLet’s celebrate the incredible social fabric of Cambridge—and maybe even help someone find their people.Thank you for being part of what makes Cambridge more than just a place—it’s a community.—Mayor James SweeneyVillage of Cambridge, NYThis is not an endorsement of any specific group, but an invitation to connection.
