The Kiwanis Club of Leesville will host its spring 2026 “Reality Check” program on Monday, March 9 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Leesville High School, offering local teens a hands-on learning experience designed to prepare them for real-world challenges as they transition into adulthood.

The one-day event will give students practical knowledge and resources to help them navigate everyday situations such as handling finances, changing a flat tire, or responding appropriately if stopped by police or involved in a vehicle accident. Each session will be led by professionals and community experts in their respective fields.

Organizers say the goal of “Reality Check” is to equip youth with the confidence and life skills necessary to make informed decisions and adapt to unexpected situations. The program emphasizes problem-solving, financial literacy, and personal responsibility—skills many young adults find essential once they enter the workforce or attend college.

The event is free to attend, and participants are encouraged to register in advance. For more information or to sign up, contact the Kiwanis Club of Leesville at 337-424-9613.
