Loudoun Reality Store Helps High School Seniors; Volunteers Needed

Do you have some spare time to help students learn good ways to prepare for the future.

The Loudoun Reality Store seeks volunteers for the program, designed to give high school seniors a slice of future life.

Through the program, students experience a simulation aimed at providing an understanding of goal setting, decision-making, financial choices and career planning.  

Conducting the program for one day requires about 70 volunteers, who are needed for less than four hours, from 8:15 a.m. to noon.
