JA Finance Park is a hands-on financial literacy simulation where students step into the role of an adult for the day. Each student is assigned a career, salary, credit score, and life scenario, and works through real-world budgeting decisions such as housing, transportation, food, insurance, and more.

Volunteers play an important role in guiding students through the simulation, encouraging decision-making, and helping students understand how financial choices impact their future. No prior experience is needed—Junior Achievement staff provide a brief training and all materials, including a guide to support you throughout the experience.

This is a meaningful and engaging way to give back to your community and help students build the skills and confidence they need to live choice-filled lives.
