JA Finance Park

Where: Brooklyn, NY / Virtual

You'll be in an actual simulated city! You'll help middle and high school students build a strong foundation on which they can make intelligent financial decisions that last a lifetime, including decisions related to income, expenses, savings, and credit. Help guide them through a simulated family scenario where they will visit many different businesses. They must purchase items to meet the needs of their family, such as insurance, clothing, transportation, housing, groceries, and childcare—without spending more than they earn.
