Partnership: Financial Literacy and Financial Reality Fair 7

Reality Fairs are based on America's Credit Union Museum and the New Hampshire Credit Union League’s CU4 Reality™ program. This program is designed to teach students the value of using money responsibly. It ends in a "real-world" exercise where each student chooses a career and a salary, then budget their money wisely to make ends meet. “It's an eye-opening experience for everyone”. “Win, Win, Win for all.” 9
