This vibrant, 12,000-square-foot experiential learning lab—located at the Junior Achievement North headquarters in St. Paul—is where classroom learning meets authentic and engaging real-world connectivity. Before their visit, students dive into lessons on personal finance, budgeting, and credit scores. At JA Finance Park, they put that knowledge into practice—and that’s where you come in!
As a volunteer, you’ll guide students as they develop and use a monthly budget for a randomly-generated life scenario.. This scenario includes a job, monthly income, credit score, marital status, and potentially children. Your support helps them build confidence, decision-making skills, and real-world understanding that will stick with them for years to come.
Without our family, community, corporate, and school volunteers, this program would not have the same impact. We appreciate your time and are excited to make this the best day possible!
The following resources will ensure you have everything you need for a fun and successful day in JA Finance Park!
Junior Achievement North makes learning an unforgettable adventure as students build relevant connections between the classroom and the real world. Our K-12 programming opens the door to opportunities that build bright futures.
