What is JA Finance Park?
Taking students into the world of business, JA Finance Park is a month-long economics education program that introduces personal financial planning and career exploration. It is designed to be taught to middle grade and high school students by classroom teachers. At the culmination of this program, students visit JA Finance Park to put into practice what they’ve learned about economic options and the principles of budgeting. Assisted by their teachers and a staff of trained volunteers, they have the opportunity to actually develop and commit to a personal budget.

Program Requirements
Each student will need to be taught a series of lessons to prepare them for their experience. Lessons can be taught at the student's pace, but must be completed prior to the March 2nd visit experience. Educator Materials for this specific program experience are available for $20 per teacher. Guides may be shared within homeschools/groups/organizations.
