Economy, Jr. @ Step Up Ministries Sponsored by Parties 2 Dye 4

rebuildup_CRESTS-StepUp-5-13-14-EJi-300 PRIVATE EVENT – On Tuesday, May 13th, participants of the “Be Good To Yourself” Teen Mentor program at Step Up Ministries will be playing “Economy, Jr.” where players gain insight into both sides of the economic coin by having them choose at the start of the game whether they want to play as a customer spending a month’s paycheck from their chosen career on necessities such as housing, groceries, child care, and more or as a merchant running a business needing to make enough sales to cover this month’s overhead.

Parties 2 Dye 4 is sponsoring the event with the Diva Network helping organize the event.
