The Madison County Young Professionals participated in the Canton High School Reality Fair on February 22, 2024.
Recognizing the importance of a well-educated and skilled workforce in the attraction of economic development in Madison County, the MCYP Committee, chose financial literacy as their philanthropy. This Reality fair tests the students’ skills in money management.Teachers assign occupations and monthly salaries for each student. The students visit 14 stations including housing, transportation, utilities, food, health insurance, clothing, communications, credit union, among others. The objective is to have enough money to pay for their expenses which will afford them the lifestyles they desire.
