Major Activities

Activity 2

Ja finance park:taking students into the world of business, ja finance park 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 in a virtual simulation or an on-site day 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, students have the opportunity to develop and commit to a personal budget.

Activity 3

Ja biztown:elementary school students are not old enough to drive, work, vote, or be the boss. But that doesn't stop them from operating banks, managing restaurants, writing checks, and voting for mayor at ja biztown. The program combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to this fully-interactive simulated free market facility. The program helps students connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. Through daily lessons, hands-on activities, and active participation in this simulated community designed to support differentiated learning styles, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and their successful participation in a global economy.
