Finance Park
Coming Fall 2007 will be Junior Achievement of Southern California’s exciting new experiential learning program, JA Finance Park. Designed to immerse middle school students in the world of personal finance, Finance Park is part of an integrated six-week curriculum unit that teaches kids about budgeting, taxes, and the range of expenses that comprise an adult’s "everyday life."

Volunteer Participation Form
Our programs are funded by businesses and individuals, and are designed to be taught in the classroom by business, parent, and community volunteers. Classroom volunteers make economic concepts relevant, fuel the entrepreneurial spirit, and challenge the students to excel. JA's unique delivery system provides the training, materials, and support necessary to ensure a positive experience. Our materials include curriculum for elementary, middle and high school students.
