The Junior Chamber International of Santa Clarita has announced 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 Saturday, March 29, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Rio Norte Junior High School, 28771 Rio Norte Drive, Valencia, CA 91354.

The event is a 40-minute simulation that allows students to test financial literacy skills in a simulated environment where each student will receive a fictional identity with a career and salary. Students will visit booths to buy goods and services essential to living, such as housing, transportation and food. Finally, students will have to decide if they want to max out the budget or be frugal while facing surprise situations like coming into extra cash or having to cover an unexpected expense.

“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.”
