Junior Achievement gratefully acknowledges the the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice for its dedication to the development and implementation of JA Finance Park.

Taking middle grades 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.

JA Finance Park is not yet available in all areas, but plans are underway to offer it in many U.S. cities.

Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park™ is the mobile version of JA Finance Park, taking financial literacy on the road!
