JA Finance Park®


JA Finance Park® is an innovation in education designed to prepare our region’s youth for life and work in the adult world. This learning experience combines in-class learning with a hands-on budgeting simulation.  Imagine the benefits for youth of practicing being an adult for a day, understanding real-life circumstances that affect financial decisions, and carefully planning for the future 

JA Finance Park combines in-class curriculum taught over 12 lessons, with a reality-based simulation at the end of the program, allowing students to practice what they have learned in the classroom. They learn key concepts such as:  

  • Income 
  • Savings 
  • Investing and Risk Management 
  • Credit and Debit 
  • Careers 
  • Budgeting 

During the interactive simulation, students use tablets and navigate assigned hypothetical life scenarios to gain a better understanding of how life, career, and income circumstances affect financial decisions. As they explore various categories of expenses represented in booths, they are guided by experienced volunteers, staff, and educators, to develop and commit to a budget, experiencing for a day what it is like to be adults.  

This process lays a strong foundation for young people to make educated financial decisions that last a lifetime.
