A Finance Park is an innovation in experiential education designed to engage middle school students for life and work in the real world.
And that means learning and practicing how to make informed decisions for lifelong success by:
-
Aligning the realities of life – and personal choices – with financial stability
-
Connecting education and career decisions with income expectations
-
Experiencing first-hand what it takes to make it
JA Finance Park is a public/private nonprofit collaboration between our region’s school systems, businesses, educators and volunteer mentors who come together to inspire, guide and teach students how to be financially capable and ready to take on their futures. From goal-setting to saving, budgeting, shopping and bill paying, students experience what it really takes to successfully navigate today’s complex economy and they come face-to-face with how their decisions today can impact their future.
JA Finance Park combines classroom curriculum taught by teachers with a high-impact simulation. This knowledge serves as a foundation in personal finance education and gives young people the skills they need to be successful and support them in their lifelong journey.
