Communities In Schools of Marietta/Cobb County is holding a Reality U session from 8 a.m. to noon Sept. 17 at Pebblebrook High School, 991 Old Alabama Road SW, Mableton.

Reality U is a one-day financial literacy program to help students understand some of the realities involved in helping them prepare for an employable future and adulthood.

At Reality U, students are provided an adult scenario of their chosen career - complete with marital status, number of children, occupation and net monthly income.

Students visit a variety of booths to "purchase" housing, transportation, communication services, child care, food, utilities, insurance and more.

Volunteers are needed to run each booth.

However, volunteers need no experience or special skills.

A brief training will be provided at the event for volunteers.

Volunteers may sign up at SignUpGenius.com/go/10c0445a4ab23a0fd0-reality7.
