What is Money Mission?

Money Mission is an online simulation brought to you by WESTconsin Credit Union that teaches real life financial skills. Teens create an avatar and live, work and make real life financial decisions in the game's simulated village, Mission Heights. Money Mission gives young adults an opportunity to consider the financial obligations they face and how they will deal with them in real life.

How long is the game?

During the 16-week session, players are encouraged to make a wide range of decisions, including buying a car, trading stocks and holding down a job. The choices players make are tied to their avatar’s happiness meter, a barometer designed to demonstrate how good financial decisions require life balance. Those who navigate this simulated world successfully will have a chance to win a state-level scholarship.

Why is Money Mission important?

This financial literacy tool fulfills the need for financial education within an interactive, online competitive gaming environment that also rewards players with scholarships to pursue post-high school education.

How do teens start playing?

Students can sign up to play Money Mission right by clicking here  or on the image below. When high school juniors and seniors sign up they will join thousands of teens across the state and nation who are competing for scholarships.

To qualify for the Money Mission scholarship, does the student have to be a member of WESTconsin Credit Union?

Eventually, yes. But, as long as the students/parent(s) are members they can compete for scholarships.

NOTE: While high school juniors and seniors can compete for scholarships, any youth 13 and over can play Money Mission.
