Event Calendar

Local middle and high school youth will go through a Reality Store in a hypothetical situation as an adult with a real job to help them think about their future and practice stretching their budgets and imaginations. They will choose an occupation without knowing what their salary will be. Throughout the store, each student will visit different booths that represent businesses such as a clothing store, an insurance company, a daycare and make purchases they would make in the real world. They will also have to pay rent, student loans and fines for not having insurance, and deal with other real life issues that come up.
