The First Reality Store of the School Year!

Help Kids Understand Money

The Reality Store® is a fun simulation that helps 7th and 8th graders connect academic achievement with the kind of lifestyle they envision for themselves after graduation. Students are assigned salaries based on their actual GPA and the average salary of a 28-year-old working with that degree. Then, they proceed from table to table (16 stations staffed by our volunteers) to buy housing, transportation, groceries, insurance, furniture, clothing, electronics, vacations, utilizes, childcare, pets, electronics, and other real-life elements.

Volunteering for a Reality Store® is a fun way to interact with students and teach them important lessons. Typically, there are 2 or 3 shifts available at each event, and you may sign up for as many shifts as you like. Let us know if there is a particular table you desire, such as Housing or Pets.
