Financial Literacy Reality Fair
This interactive event invites high school students to experience financial decision-making through a hands-on simulation. Participants will navigate real-life scenarios — managing an account at a financial institution, budgeting expenses, applying for loans, managing debt, and more — gaining a practical understanding of everyday financial responsibilities. For youth, a reality fair can be an eye-opening and fun way to build financial knowledge and skills as they prepare for the future.
