JA Finance Park®

Unlocking Motivation

For the 23-24 school year we are offering both a fall and a spring session.

JA Finance Park helps students build a foundation upon which they can make intelligent lifelong financial decisions, including those related to income, expenses, savings, and credit.

JA Finance Park combines 6-12 educator led, classroom-based JA lessons with a hands-on budgeting simulation at the in person field trip to JA Finance Park mobile hosted at a higher learning institution.

JA Finance Park has been so successful with school districts around Texas. Last school year we launched JA Finance Park at the Make It Center at ACC Highland Campus and students loved participating in the simulation. We are thrilled to offer this opportunity again to our Central Texas schools - all at no cost to the schools. because of our generous Partners

The Day at JA Finance Park

"Who will I become?"

Upon entering the event, each student will be greeted and placed with a mentor at a table. They will be given a unique "life situation" - a personal profile with the details of their adult life like the one here.

Students then will visit each kiosk to learn about budgeting areas, make spending choice, and discover how to spend within their means.
