Junior Chamber International of Santa Clarita (JCI Santa Clarita) is excited to announce the return of Get Real: Adulting 101, a fun and interactive financial education simulation for high school juniors and seniors. This time, Get Real will take place on March 29, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Rio Norte Junior High School, 28771 Rio Norte Dr, Valencia, CA 91354.
The event is a 40-minute simulation that allows students to test their financial literacy skills in a simulated environment where they will receive a fictional identity with a career and salary. They’ll visit booths to buy goods and services essential to living, such as housing, transportation, and food. Students will have to decide if they want to max out their budget or be frugal while facing surprise situations like coming into extra cash or having to cover an unexpected expense.
Booths are sponsored and run by local businesses. if you want to sponsor and run a booth contact Chris Lowder at christopher.james.lowder@gmail.com
“We have designed a fun and interactive game to test how well our teens can manage a budget. In past events, we’ve seen students become highly engaged in taking control of their finances,” said Mack Herrera co-chair of Get Real: Adulting 101. “We can’t express how grateful we are for our sponsors and the support we’ve received. We love to be a part of this impact for our high school students.”
