Financial Fitness Fair Logo

Created in 2004, Maine Credit Unions’ Financial Fitness Fairs are an insightful and fun budget simulation, similar to the game of “Life.” Participating students are given a career and monthly income, and then have to visit booths associated with various expenses that the average adult is faced with each month. After filling in a monthly budget form, the goal is for students to have a monthly budget that does not exceed their monthly income.

To participate in the new Virtual Financial Fitness Fair, go here. For more information on the virtual fair, please view the Virtual Financial Fitness Fair Welcome Packet.

Since the program’s inception in 2004, nearly 73,000 Maine students have become fiscally fit after participating in a fair. These efforts have contributed to Maine Credit Unions being an eighteen-time winner of the Desjardins Award for Youth Financial Education, making Maine the most recognized credit union system in the country.
