Featured Program:
​Mad City Money

Picture

Teaching personal finance skills for the next generation of the workforce. Building skills that will last a lifetime, participants in Mad City Money learn how handling adult finances doesn’t have to be difficult.

Our 3½-hour simulation gives young adults the opportunity to make decisions about budgeting, spending and saving in an assigned-life scenario. To get a sense of adulthood with income and bills to pay, each participant is given a temporary identity, including: an occupation, salary, debt, marital status, children and so on. Participants visit “merchants” in Mad City to choose housing, transportation, necessities and wants. Students get to make these decisions and see how they fair.

The goal is ultimately to simulate the realities of approaching financial responsibilities and teach the tools to make better financial decisions. This session will give students the opportunity to:
  • Practice budgeting as an adult with realistic circumstances
  • Identify and experience the consequences of poor decisions
  • Develop good judgment regarding spending
  • Understand budgeting is a necessary step in good money management
  • Budgeting is difficult and incredibly useful
​
All young adults, ages 12 to 18, are welcome to participate. To register for a session, select a seminar from the calendar. Each workshop is from 12:30 – 4 p.m. unless specified.
