FINANCIAL CAPABILITY MATTERS
JA Finance Park(r) combines in-class learning with a visit to an immersive on-site facility. After learning in the classroom, students engage with volunteers and put into practice what they have learned by developing a personal budget. They get hands-on experience identifying career interests, the advantages and disadvantages of using credit and debit cards, and the components of making smart financial choices.
Program Highlights:
· Identify personal interests, skills, work preferences, and values.
· Evaluate the risks and benefits of saving and investing.
· Evaluate risk and recognize insurance as a way to minimize it.
· Define taxes, explain their purpose, and understand how they affect everyone.
· Explain who uses a budget and why.
· Make financial decisions using hypothetical life situations.
Volunteers will be assigned to storefront to lead small-group career exploration activities and provide real-world examples and anecdotes.
Training will be held on-site on the morning of your volunteer experience and is included in the stated timeframe.
Comfortable shoes and business casual clothes are recommended. Please bring a bagged lunch as we have no food for sale and microwaves are not available.
