2022 Class Project: The Reality Fair
The 2022 class of Leadership South Carolina is partnering with DIG, a non-profit organization determined to improve the lives of youth within rural communities, to host the first-ever Reality Fair.
The Reality Fair will take place Wednesday, April 20, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., at the University of South Carolina Salkehatchie(Allendale Campus). Approximately 250 seventh grade students from schools in Williston, Barnwell and Allendale will attend the fair, which will be focused on financial literacy and helping students understand the value of money. For example, students will learn the pros and cons of owning a home versus renting, the cost of childcare, the importance of saving and having an emergency fund, and much more.
The goal of the Reality Fair is to create a foundation for students to build strong money habits and help them avoid mistakes that can lead to lifelong struggles.
