Midwest Community Federal Credit Union is sponsoring an upcoming event called "Finances 101, The Game of Life" on November 29, 2018 at Defiance College. About 500 students were hoste last year, and expected turnout this year is projected to be the same. High school students from around the area will learn about:
  • Earning a salary and paying bills and taxes
  • What it costs to run a household
  • How earnings impact buying decisions
  • What responsibilities lie ahead in the adult world
Having that many students on board means MCFCU need some help. Community volunteers are needed to assist the students throughout the various stations of the game from 8:30am-2:00pm. "You don't need to be a financial guru to help out! Just bring a smile and a willingness to help our students learn more about smart money management!"
