Unlocking Motivation

JA Finance Park® is an innovation in education designed to prepare youth for success in the adult world. Students will learn what’s possible for their future if they take control of their financial future. This program helps students build a foundation upon which they can make intelligent lifelong financial decisions, including those related to income, expenses, savings, and credit.

This learning experience combines in-class learning from the educator with JA curriculum and a field trip to work with volunteers from the business community at JA Finance Park held at a host location.

The Day at JA Finance Park

"Who will I become?”

Upon entering the event, each student is given a unique "life situation"—a personal profile detailing their adult life, such as education level, job, and family size. With the guidance of volunteers, they have a hands-on experience navigating kiosks representing real-world businesses like banks and grocery stores, learning to make financial decisions that carry real-life consequences and benefits.
