Middle Grades Programs :: JA Finance Park®
Taking students into the world of business, JA Finance
Park is a month-long economics education program that
introduces personal financial planning and career exploration. It is designed to be taught to middle grade and
high school students by classroom teachers. At the culmination
of this program, students visit JA Finance Park to put
into practice what they’ve learned about economic options and
the principles of budgeting. Assisted by their teachers and a
staff of trained volunteers, they have the opportunity to
actually develop and commit to a personal budget.
This handy student workbook is contained
in each
JA Finance Park program kit.
