The Y Reality Store is part of the YMCA East Hampton RECenter’s Make It Count: Financial Literacy Program. Youth between the ages of 12 and 19, young women and men make critical decisions that affect the course of their whole lives; decisions about educational paths, career options, lifetime mates and family timing. They should to make these critical decisions with knowledge and a sophisticated attitude about the realities of and options for their futures.

The YMCA East Hampton RECenter, in partnership with Bridgehampton National Bank, are committed to seeing that our youth become aware of the importance for all adults to lead balanced, self-sufficient lives. The Y Reality Store is designed to encourage teens to think about their future, to help teens visualize how their career choice will affect their economic well-being. How can students talk about choosing a career if they don’t know how much it will cost to live the life they’d like to have? Participation in the Y Reality Store helps students learn about their choices, evaluate their options and plan for their future.

At the Y Reality Store through role playing students will be able to: • envision the lifestyle they’d like to have when they’re in their mid-20’s to 30’s• select the occupation they’d like to have as an adult• receive a checking account deposit equal to one month’s salary from their

desired job, • spend their salary in Y Reality

Store, first on necessities and then on “extras”

• handle some of life’s unexpected events

• learn whether their selected occupation will provide the financial resources needed to provide the lifestyle they want.
