JA Finance Park® introduces middle and high school youth to personal finance and careers through classroom lessons led by teachers. The program culminates in a hands-on, in-person, budgeting simulation at JA Finance Park, supported by JA staff and volunteers. Volunteers help guide youth in small groups through the simulation alongside JA staff who facilitate the experience. This experience is 5-6 hours which includes training the morning of. This is a great opportunity for individuals and corporate groups. For more information visit: https://jausa.ja.org/programs/ja-finance-park-advanced
JA Workshops give students hands-on experience with personal finance, career readiness, and entrepreneurship. During the visit to our JA office, students rotate through three classrooms on the second floor, receiving three volunteer-led lessons. Educators teach the remaining lessons back at school. Each lesson can be led by 1–2 volunteers, so each workshop needs 3–6 volunteers. Training with full details will be provided before the event. Feel free to bring a friend!
