Communities In Schools offers Reality U Financial Literacy to students in 8th grade-high school age to bring a bit of “reality” in a 75-minute personal finance simulation.    Students imagine their life as a 26-year-old and complete an online lifestyle survey.   This information is entered into our software, along with their current GPA, to create a unique and individualized future scenario.   

Reality U depends upon 16-24 community volunteers per 4-hour shift to facilitate the booths that students must complete.    A 10-to-15-minute training for Reality U is provided before each session.  As a Volunteer, you will work directly with the students, educating them on career and life choices as it pertains to the booth you are hosting. 

 If you would like to volunteer to run a station, please use the following link to sign up. What could be better than watching your student (and others) figure out how to pay bills, budget, and handle emergency costs and more that come up in life? It’s an experience that neither of you will forget. Sign up today to reserve your volunteer spot!
