Real World ProjectTM

The "Real World ProjectTM", simulated life skills activity that has been customized and aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS). The activity allows participants to experience the "Real WorldTM" for themselves by performing the basic functions of an adult within their simulated community.

These functions include:

  • Choosing a career
  • Managing a monthly paycheck
  • Securing housing
  • Selecting a mode of transportation
  • Purchasing groceries and other necessities
  • Interfacing with Social Service organizations

The purpose of the Real World ProjectTM is to positively introduce and expose its participants to these important concepts.
