WE ARE SCHEDULING NOW FOR REAL MONEY REAL WORLD FOR SCHOOL YEAR 2013/14
We are scheduling RMRW in area schools. If you want your middle or senior high to take part in this program please call as soon as school starts. We have a limited number of slots and want to bring this program to all children in Geauga County. The program was developed for middle school age students but there is no reason senior high school students can’t take part. In fact we have presented the program in many area schools for kids from 6th grade to 12th. The Geauga Office has been successfully putting this program on for over 4 years. Real Money is an active hand-on experience that gives young people the opportunity to make lifestyle and budget choices similar to those they will make around finances as adults.
