Hello Friends of Jefferson West High School and Community Members!
Have you ever paid a bill? Are you 18 or older? Would you enjoy a fun opportunity to help students learn real-life financial skills? If you answered yes, we’d love for you to join us as a volunteer for Reality U, our interactive financial simulation!
What is Reality U?
Students will complete a pre-survey about the lifestyle they hope to have at age 26. During the event, they’ll receive a “paycheck” based on their survey and navigate real-world expenses—like housing, transportation, phone plans, and more.
What will you do as a volunteer?
You’ll run a booth as a sales representative (housing, utilities, transportation, etc.), helping students make financial decisions. Don’t worry—all booth information and training will be provided. We just need YOU!
This is a great opportunity to connect with students and help them see how their education today impacts their financial future tomorrow.
