JA Finance Park is a middle school program that begins with in-class learning and culminates with a day-long visit to a realistic on-site simulation community where students are assigned a random life experience. Each student takes on a specific career, education, family size, credit score and student debt. They create and manage a monthly budget and are faced with making important financial decisions related to income, expenses, savings and credit through various life stages.
