Volunteers Needed! Get REAL Financial Reality Fair at Houston High School

Happy Monday!!  With Halloween now over, the Holiday season is just right around the corner!  With that, we have one more Financial Reality Fair scheduled for 2026 here in Alaska.  

We have been asked to bring the Fair to Houston High School students (12801 Hawk Ln, Wasilla) on Tuesday, November 10^th from 12:00 - 2:00 PM.   We are expecting up to large number of 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 businesspeople 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, their role will be to review the budgets with students and bring the focus back to savings and thrift practices.

We will provide you with all of the information you will need to work with the students prior to the event.

Looking forward to a great time in Houston!
