Financial Literacy Program for Youth!

At the North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Mecklenburg County Center, we are launching a financial literacy program for teens called Real Money. Real World. (RMRW) this summer!

Join us for Real Money. Real World., an interactive financial simulation where YOU take on the role of a working adult! You’ll receive a career, salary, and family scenario, then make real-life financial choices about housing, transportation, food, childcare, and more—all while balancing a budget.

Through this fun and hands-on experience, you’ll:

  • Learn how to budget and make smart financial decisions
  • See how your career choices impact your lifestyle
  • Understand the real costs of adulting
  • Gain skills to help you feel confident about your financial future

This program is perfect for teens and young adults who want to learn money management in a fun and practical way.

Educators and adults will attend a virtual training session the week of July 7th and receive 4 weekly lessons to teach to your students leading up to the spending simulation on August 8th!
