JA Finance Park Experience
Recommended for Grades 7-12
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.

Where are the Capstone Facilities located?
JA Finance Park requires many volunteers to assist students and teachers as they navigate the simulation. No prior experience or training is necessary! JA Staff will provide the training when you arrive on-site.
