LifeSmarts...the ultimate consumer challenge is a unique educational game show competition for youth in grades 9 through 12. Participants are prepared to answer questions covering a broad range of consumer issues including credit, contracts, refunds, charitable contributions, food labels, food production and consumption, etc. Sponsored by the Urban Affairs and New Nontraditional Programs unit of the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the National Consumers League, the competition is open to youth from any school, group, or organization in the state. The National Consumers League (NCL) owns the program and licenses the use of the program to other non-profit organizations approved by the NCL Board of Directors. One agency in each state is the lead partner and a designee of that agency becomes the state coordinator for the program. NCL coordinates the regional and national competitions. To keep costs and time away from school at a minimum, regional and national competitions are held together in April at various locations throughout the US. The 2007 State LifeSmarts Winners were the DHS DECA team from Demopolis High School in Demopolis, Alabama. The team was comprised of Katie Reeves (captain), Gracie Smith, Victoria Barley, and Matthew Cox The coach was LTC (Ret.) Beverly Jones. Practice tests for 2009 competitions will be available on-line on this website.
