Commitment: One 5.5 hour experience at 1745 University Ave., W, St. Paul, MN in a JA Learning Lab
JA BizTown is a 12,000 square foot simulated city located at our new state-of-the-art facility in St. Paul. Several weeks of classroom learning culminates in a day-long visit to this experiential learning lab where students become adults for a day. By working in one of 18 JA BizTown shops, students learn what it takes to run a successful business, manage a debit card and checking account, and work as a team. Volunteers are paired with small groups of students to help them make important business and personal finance decisions in their assigned JA BizTown shop. Through the pre and post JA lessons, hands-on activities, and active participation in this JA BizTown simulated economy, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the "real world."
Please volunteer to support youth during this experience. Individuals or groups of any size are welcome. Contact us to find out more!
