We will be hosting our 'Mad City Money' Reality Simulation at Silver High School on December 10, 2024.
Mad City Money is a two-hour hands-on financial simulation. Students develop financial skills by getting a taste of the real world as they take on the role of an adult – complete with occupation, salary, family, student loan and credit card debts, and medical insurance payments. The challenge is for students to select housing, transportation, food, household necessities, clothing, day care, and other wants and needs, while creating and following a realistic budget. Students must also make payments on any debts they owe and decide how much to save. Students discover what it is like to budget for monthly expenses, manage debt and save for the future.
Community volunteers will serve as merchants during the simulation and assist students in making their financial decisions.
We are hosting TWO sessions for this event so we are looking for volunteers for the AM or PM sessions OR volunteers who are available for BOTH!
