Reality Check is a hands-on interactive education experience that will be presented to all seventh-grade students in Franklin County on March 23, 2023, at KSU Exum Center. Each student will choose an occupation with a monthly income. They proceed through Reality Check booths manned by business community volunteers that represent everything from housing choices to entertainment.

With students arriving by bus all through the day, both morning and afternoon volunteer slots are currently available.  The Reality Check Day runs from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm, with breakfast and lunch provided to volunteers.

* School Speaker

This year's Reality Check event is scheduled for March 23. However, one week prior to this scheduled date (exact date and times TBA) we are seeking volunteers to speak to all participating 7th grade classes at their schools. Volunteers will be explaining the event to the students and how to use their balance sheet. If you are interested in volunteering your time to participate, please check the box below.

* Booth Volunteer

Students must visit each booth and make choices based on their given income. Each booth will be provided a binder that lists all the options that students have to choose from. Volunteers will answer questions and help guide students through their choices.

* Floater

The job of a floater is to be visible and available to students to help answer questions, encourage students to stay on task, give directions to booths, etc. Floaters may also assist booths that get backed up to shorten the line, cover a booth volunteer that may need a break and help with tasks as needed.
