NAFCU has recently endorsed a program called CU 4 Reality. This program helps middle and high school aged students understand budgeting and helps them develop financial skills. This program is sponsored by America’s Credit Union Museum.
The program is designed to help students through a curriculum that has them make budgets and allocate their expenses, such as food and clothing and other unexpected possible expenses. It dosen't take long for the students to realize how quickly money can run out. It also helps to teach them how to save more and stretch their funds better.
This comprehensive program not only helps teachers, but it also gives the students a chance to put their skills to work in a CU 4 Reality Fair. The Fair is a fun simulation of spending and budgeting based on career choices and lifestyle decisions.
Get more information on this program by visiting the America’s Credit Union Museum web site at www.acumuseum.org.
