Prior to the reality store the students will be prepared at an orientation. They complete a survey as to what they envision their life at age 25. Some of the questions on the survey was what level of education will they have completed\, what is their occupation\, what would they do for entertainment\, how much money would they save each month and what type of house and car would they have. Based on their grade point average in high school they draw a career from the high\, medium and low boxes. The students are then given an amount of play money equivalent to the average monthly salary in that occupation. The students also select a family situation. Some students will have no children and others may have four or five kids. The organizers are not promoting single parenthood\, we tell the students they are the sole provider for their family. They will then enter the store and begin to purchase a months supply of goods for themselves and their family. The Reality Store will consist of "stores" representing travel & entertainment\, communications\, insurance offices\, gas & utilities\, groceries\, clothing stores\, health & beauty stores\, medical & dental offices\, vehicle licensing offices\, car lots\, banks and government offices. \n\n \n\nVOLUNTEER ROLE: To work in a store and sell goods & services.
