Big Bank Theory

Financial Literacy Program for High School Seniors

 

The Manatee Chamber will present the Big Bank Theory program at all public high schools starting in October – and we need YOU to volunteer!

The Big Bank Theory is a financial literacy program presented to all 12th-grade students in Manatee County Schools.  Business volunteers work in one of the 15 stations that require the students to consider the financial responsibilities of a 25-year-old adult. Students make spending decisions such as whether to buy a new car, a used car, or a bus pass all while trying to stay within their budget.
