Volunteer to help with financial literacy class at Shorecrest

The City of Shoreline, Community Services Division, is partnering with the Northwest Credit Union Foundation to offer a financial simulation training for a class of 23 students at Shorecrest High School.

The purpose of the simulation is to acquaint high school students with the financial challenges ahead and how to prepare for transactions such as renting an apartment, buying a car, and budgeting their monthly income.

Volunteers are needed. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to help by role playing as a vendor in the simulation. The entire event will take place at the high school. A half-hour orientation for volunteers will be held before the event from 7:30 to 8:00am.

During the role play students will engage in various real world financial transactions and then discuss with a facilitator what they learned as a result. The event takes place on Thursday April 17 from 7:30 to 10:30am at Shorecrest High School, 15343 25th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.
