Our first Financial Reality Fair is a unique opportunity.  We have been asked to bring the Financial Reality Fair to the Mat Su Youth Court at the Palmer Courthouse, (435 S Denali St, Palmer, AK) on Thursday, February 6^th from 4:30 - 6:30 PM (yes, please note the time).  We are anticipating up to 50 students to attend, so we will need a FULL volunteer crew!

A Get REAL Financial Reality Fair provides students with an opportunity to:

·         Explore career paths and consider a job they may desire in the future.                                                                                                                                                      

·         Work with an income and learn how to budget for things like a home, car, utilities

         insurance, food, clothing, entertainment, and more.

·         Interact with local business people who lend a touch of reality as they sell to students.

·         Meet with a financial advisor who will bring the focus back to savings and thrift

        practices, review their budgets and provide financial advice for their future.

There will be multiple tables in different categories; your role will be to manage one of the tables with a partner and offer students a variety of ways to spend their money.  There is also the role of the financial advisor, whose role will be to review the budgets with students and bring the focus back to savings and thrift practices
