Our First Financial volunteers kicked off their first Adulting 101 session for the 2024-2025 school year with Catonsville High School! Our team helped over 230 students navigate the budgeting simulation and make smart financial decisions. 

First Financial’s Adulting 101 program guides students through a month in the life of a working adult. They receive Life Scenarios that include their job, salary, family situation and potential student loans. From there, students will visit various stations to make budgeting decisions on housing, transportation, childcare, groceries, entertainment and more. The First Financial team helps the students make informed choices to stay within their scenario’s budget!

As a credit union founded by an educator, we’re dedicated to providing free and fun financial education and resources to the youth in our community. Interested in scheduling Adulting 101 for your classroom? Please contact our Youth Outreach Team at youthoutreach@firstfinancial.org.
