Financial Empowerment Day for Teens, March 31

Community Housing Network's Mad City Money Pontiac, a free, interactive financial empowerment event on March 31 at Bowen Center in Pontiac.

Oakland County youth are invited to attend Community Housing Network’s Mad City Money Pontiac, a free, interactive financial empowerment event for teens (high school age students) on March 31 from 10am-1pm at the Bowens Center in Pontiac.

Teens will get a taste of the adult world through hands-on budget simulation including choosing a career, projecting income, evaluating family dynamics and learning about debt. All of this will be done through a fast-paced engaging challenge.

Mad City Money allows teens to make mistakes - and learn from the consequences of their decisions - in a realistic, but safe, environment.
