Money Matters Workshop
Money Matters is an interactive financial aid literacy curriculum designed by 10,000 Degrees for high school students. Participating students juggle set budgets and flexible pricing for day-to-day expenses. Students rotate between stations—staffed by volunteers and our 10,000 Degrees teams—and are challenged to make difficult budgeting decisions, including being encouraged to spend more than they should on products and services they more than likely will not need!
Money Matters: Budgeting for College Workshop
- Students learn from their decision-making that college is possible and affordable by accessing free financial aid and making thoughtful college choices
- Highlight the importance of submitting a financial aid application (FAFSA/CADA)
- Students begin to understand college-related expenses and how financial aid plays a role in reducing out-of-pocket costs
Money Matters: Exploring Careers, Pathways, and Budgets
- Students learn the power of a college education and its profound impact on their career and long-term financial success
- Grow their advocacy skills by discovering what steps they need to take to find additional financial resources and grow their income
- Understand the various post-secondary pathway options available to meet their career goals

Volunteer Role
Individual and group volunteer opportunities are available! All volunteers will be placed at a station to sell items to students visiting their table. Volunteers can “upsell” students on expensive items or they can help them pick the “financially responsible” item. Money Matters is an amazing opportunity to see 10,000 Degrees Fellows and programming in action.
