You will coach a small group of students through the simulation, while sharing your life experiences that will help make the day authentic for the students. In JA Finance Park, you’ll help students make the connection between their education and career, career and income, and ultimately their income and lifestyle. You will help them discover the value of themselves, their education, and their future beyond the classroom walls. No matter your profession, your life experiences qualify you to be a successful volunteer! Please read our volunteer waiver in advance. You will receive an online version to sign during the sign-up process.

Every child has a dream, a vision for what their future can be. Our mission is to provide students with opportunities to make those dreams a reality. At JA Finance Park students have the rare opportunity to experience their personal financial futures first-hand. Students will have the opportunity to balance a budget and decide between their needs and wants, all within their unique life profile for the day: a career, income, education level and family scenario.
