đ° Real-Life Money Skills Workshop
Our event will bring financial literacy to life for youth ages 13–21 through a Money Management Seminar, where students will learn the fundamentals of banking and essential money skills.
Attendees will also participate in Bite of Reality, a hands-on financial simulation that introduces young participants to real-world financial decisions in a fun, interactive environment. During the simulation, each participant will assume an adult persona complete with a family, a monthly salary, bills, loan debt, and other financial responsibilities. Participants will then visit various stations to make spending decisions on essentials such as housing, groceries, childcare, transportation, and more—gaining practical insight into managing everyday finances.
Parents are welcome to stay and observe, but we encourage students to partake in the activities on their own.
