Junior Achievement REAL Life Preparing CACS scholars for bright futures!
At Crispus Attucks Charter School (CACS), we recognize that financial literacy is often overlooked in our community. We are grateful to Junior Achievement, as well as our donors, volunteers, staff, and dedicated CACS teachers for making this day possible. What an incredible experience!
REAL Life is a full-day program designed to teach financial literacy and career readiness. Students spent part of the day learning the importance of budgeting and how financial decisions will impact their future. The other half was all about career preparation, including interview skills and resume writing. What a valuable experience for our scholars!
Diving into exciting activities like:
🔹 Budget Builder – Tackling tough, real-world financial decisions on the fly.
🔹 Who Am I? – Exploring careers through a fun, interactive guessing game.
🔹 Interviewing Tips – Playing Jenga while learning do’s and don’ts for landing their dream job.
🔹 REAL Life Adulting – Gaining essential life skills for independent living.
🔹 Is the Price Right? – Discovering the cost of everyday items in a fun, game-show-style activity.
