Empowering Youth: Using the FDIC Reality Fair Toolkit to Build Real-world Financial Skills

Event Date
-
Location
Virtual

The FDIC will host a webinar to showcase the Guide to Organizing Reality Fairs and other financial education resources. These resources are designed to help schools and youth-serving organizations empower young people with essential financial skills to plan for their future.

Reality Fairs are simulations of an adult's financial life that provide an interactive experience for making real-world financial decisions and managing money. Participants will experience what it is like to have an account at a financial institution, decide how to use their money, obtain a loan, manage debt, and more. This event is being held in recognition of National Youth Leadership Month.

The FDIC's efforts to expand economic inclusion and promote confidence in the banking system are centered around financial education. This national webinar is part of the FDIC Money Smart program, which offers high-quality, non-copyrighted, and free financial education resources for banks, schools, non-profits, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders to help educate and improve the financial capability of people of all ages and small businesses.
