Our First Financial volunteers were thrilled to visit Patapsco High School for the latest Adulting 101 session! Our team helped 120 students navigate the budgeting simulation and make smart financial decisions.

Adulting 101 is an engaging program where students experience a month in the life of a working adult. They receive a “Life Scenario” with a job, salary, family situation, and potential student loans. 

Then the students will visit various stations that represent major budget items, such as housing, transportation, childcare, groceries, entertainment and more. The First Financial team guides them in making informed decisions to stay within their scenario’s budget!

As a credit union founded by an educator, we believe in continuing education beyond the classroom. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing free and fun financial education and resources to the youth in our community!
