Welcome to JA Finance Park!
JA Finance Park® is Junior Achievement's capstone curriculum for personal financial planning and career exploration. This teacher-led classroom curriculum culminates with a visit to JA Finance Park, a realistic on-site or mobile facility, or virtually in the classroom, where students engage with volunteers and put into practice what they've learned by developing a personal budget. An advanced curriculum and simulation give high school students a more personal focus. Students select their career and define their future lifestyle and financial goals. The advanced simulation allows students to see the long-term impact of their education, savings, and credit decisions.
Following participation in the program, students will be able to:
-- Take a deep dive into financial consequences of life choices and decisions impacting long-term goals.
-- Choose a journey into adulting, where they select personas based on career and education selections.
-- Navigate financial decisions through various life stages, budgeting beyond 1 month.
