High School

Our most popular presentation is “Mad City Money.” This program takes the student through the Real World. Each student will receive a job for them and their partner, a child and all the bills and necessities it takes in the Real World.  We have worked hard to create a program in a limited time frame. The students that have gone through our “Mad City Money” have enjoyed it and really realize what the Real World is truly all about! Many of our teachers have used this program further into their lesson plans and graded the students on participation.

Each student is given a pen, and a presentation packet.

This presentation is a two day class period.
