"Financial literacy builds confidence, independence, and opportunity.

With support from the U.S. Bank Foundation, JA Finance Park provided 262 middle school students from economically disadvantaged schools with hands-on experience in budgeting, saving, managing credit, and making informed financial decisions during the 2025–2026 school year.

Building on this impact, the program aims to reach 350 students in 2026–2027, equipping even more young people with the skills to become confident, capable, and prepared for their financial futures.

Thank you, U.S. Bank Foundation, for investing in education for what’s next!™"
