Join us for our Welcome to the Real World (WTTRW) simulation on October 19 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds! The simulation will start promptly at 1 p.m. and will last about two hours. WTTRW is designed as a series of learning activities that culminate in a simulation experience in which youth choose a post-graduation path and make a series of related “real world” decisions.
Participants ages 12 to 18 (as of 9/1/25) will:
- Explore careers
- Investigate how career choices can be influenced by education and other factors
- Make consumer choices related to future independent living
- Learn skills needed to manage their finances
- Evaluate their success in managing their monthly income and expenses
- Explore alternatives to balance a budget
This is an experience you won't want to miss! Registration required. Cost is $3 per person.
