What's the Scoop? Financial Literacy and Employment Event

What’s the Scoop? 2026 – A Financial Literacy Experience Like No Other

Money moves just got a major upgrade! What’s the Scoop? is back in 2026—bigger, bolder, and designed for the entire family. This high-energy, interactive experience invites youth ages 13–18 and their parents to learn, play, and grow their financial confidence together.

Through exciting games, hands-on challenges, and dynamic learning stations, participants will explore budgeting, saving, earning, and smart decision-making in a way that feels practical, empowering, and fun.

To ensure everyone gets the most out of the experience, youth and parents will take part in separate, tailored sessions, each designed to meet them where they are and deliver age-appropriate, real-world financial tools.

Even better, this event opens doors to opportunity for the whole family. Employment connections will be available for ages 14 and up, creating pathways to income, experience, and independence.

Participants will also have the chance to:

• Connect to employment opportunities for teens and adults
• Win cash prizes
• Enjoy a free lunch and giveaways
• Build financial skills that last a lifetime

And because showing up matters: arrive on time, engage fully, and stay for the entire event for a chance to win a grand cash prize to jump-start your financial journey.

This innovative experience is proudly sponsored by Fifth Third Bank and Wright-Patt Credit Union, whose commitment to financial empowerment makes this event possible. We also thank our Community Partner, YMCA, for helping us expand awareness and reach more families across our community.

Spots are limited, and demand is high. Register today and get ready to game, learn, and earn your way toward financial confidence.
