Cowley First has one of our largest youth events coming up
in October and we need your assistance!!
Every year Cowley First hosts a free Future Finance event
for the local sophomores with in the community along with the schools support
and many volunteers from the community making this two day event possible!
Future Finance is a financial literacy exercise geared
towards sophomores that helps youth understand some of the
"realities" involved in preparing for an employable future and
adulthood. As adults we must have money to buy food, clothing, shelter,
transportation, etc. and more often than not, we have to figure that out not
only for ourselves but perhaps a spouse and children. FF provides students the
opportunity to learn about those choices that must be made as adults and,
provides a valuable service to teens helping them learn to determine spending
priorities and budget their money. The goals of the program are to show teens
that their performance in school today will affect their future, and give teens
a chance to learn and practice personal finance skills in a fun way.
So what will you be doing? At the event each
of the fourteen booths are set up for the students and are managed by local
business leaders (you!). Students will visit each booth and make mock purchases
of their goods/services. We encourage you to choose a booth that fits your
field of expertise however, if you are more interested in managing a booth of a
different category GO FOR IT!!
