Local financial education organization MakingChange is hosting free financial planning exercises for students ages 12-18 and their parents in the Kittleman Room at Howard Community College on Saturday, Feb. 1, from 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
The fourth annual Y-Fi Challenge includes “real life” simulation of planning, goal setting and decision making experiences faced by those choosing a career and sticking to a budget. Students visit stations manned by representatives of local businesses, who discuss everything from transportation, insurance and banking to housing, utilities and clothing. The event simulation is inspired by portions of Junior Achievement’s JA Finance Park program.
Sponsorships ranging from $1,000-$7,500 are available. Contact info@makingchangecenter.org, or call 443-718-9350.
