OSU Extension Pickaway County is looking for volunteers to help with Real Money, Real World on Friday, November 20, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided!

Real Money, Real World is an interactive financial literacy simulation that gives 8th-grade students the opportunity to experience making lifestyle and budgeting decisions as a 27-year-old adult.

Volunteers will help students make purchases, pay bills, work through basic consumer math, and answer questions at their assigned stations. Instructions and talking points will be provided, and Extension staff will be available to help throughout the event.

Interested in volunteering? Contact Extension Agent Joy Sharp at sharp.5@osu.edu. Your time can make a difference in helping students build important real-world money management skills!
