Bite of Reality app

Reality Fair

Using the Bite of Reality^® app, this interactive event gives teens a taste of financial realities. They’ll learn how to make good financial decisions and understand the challenges of living on a budget. Teens are given an occupation, credit score, family, and debt, and experience “purchasing” housing, cars, food, and other expenses.

Virtual Career Day

Ever wonder what a day in the life at a credit union is like? Learn about the many ways we help members from opening new accounts and transactions on the teller line to buying their dream home. Open up a new world of professional opportunities to your students and invite BayPort to attend your next career day!

Celebrating a 10-Year Student-Run Credit Union Partnership

We’ve partnered with over 60 local high school, middle, and elementary schools to provide financial education and teach good money habits. In addition, we offer faculty stipends and student grants to support Work-Based Learning programs and College, Career, and Civics Readiness Indicator (CCCRI) credits.
