Reality of Money - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Description

South Granville High School and the GCPS Career & Technical Education department are seeking volunteers to assist with the Reality of Money $$ event sponsored by the State Employees Credit Union. 
 
The Reality of Money event is scheduled for Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at South Granville High School.  We need volunteers from 7:45 am - 3:30 pm. 
 
This activity gives students a peek into the future as they are transformed into young adults with jobs, debt, families, and other real-world responsibilities. During the simulation, students move through multiple expense stations where volunteers assist them in making the everyday financial decisions necessary to make it to their next payday. This activity provides an excellent opportunity for schools to work side by side with SECU, parents, and community volunteers to help students prepare for their financial future.
 
Learning Objectives Include:
$ The importance of good credit and its effect on financial opportunities
$ The advantage of additional education after high school
$ The value of smart financial decisions to create a solid foundation for the future
 
Volunteers will facilitate the students in making those everyday financial decisions. There will be further explanations on the morning of the event. 
 
This event requires 30 volunteers.
 
We need volunteers from 7:45 am - 3:30 pm.  Lunch provided from 12-12:30pm.
If you can only do a 1/2 day, please plan on 7:45am to 12pm OR 12pm to 3:30pm.
