Financial Reality Check is a hands-on budgeting simulation designed to enhance high school students’ financial literacy and practical money management skills by building upon what they learn at school.
Sign Up
Volunteer to help us challenge perceptions, enhance problem solving and critical thinking skills, change perspectives about the future, and strengthen youth financial literacy!
As a Financial Reality Check volunteer, you will play a key role in helping students:
Choose from two volunteer roles at the simulation.
Review students’ budgets, check their calculations, and offer guidance on financial planning, savings, credit, and debt management. (Experience in the financial sector is an asset.)
Run a booth and “sell” products and services to students as they manage their budgets and make purchasing decisions. No financial experience required — just enthusiasm and engagement!
Share your time and knowledge at an upcoming Financial Reality Check simulation and guide youth through real-life spending decisions. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for both a morning and an afternoon shift if they wish. Lunch will be provided for volunteers who are staying for the full day.
8:30 A.M. - 3:15 P.M. (Various shifts available)
