Description
Become a Junior Achievement
Finance Park
Volunteer for a Day
Volunteers serve as mentors and personal business consultants for the day. You will share your life experiences to coach a small group of students through their day to help bring the simulation to life. In JA Finance Park, you’ll help students make the connection between their education and career, career and income, and ultimately their income and lifestyle. No matter your profession, your life experiences qualify you to be a successful volunteer!
"I had such a great time the first time I volunteered for BizTown that I have volunteered several more times for both BizTown and FinanceTown. It's really an eye opener to see how much the kids get involved running a business or experiencing their first family budget. I'll be volunteering again this time. Come join me!"
