Last week, our community got a firsthand look at the future of financial education! 🎉

At the JA Finance Park Pop-Up Showcase, volunteers, sponsors, educators, and community partners experienced what students will soon have the opportunity to do: make real-world financial decisions, build a budget, and see how everyday choices shape their future.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and is helping make this experience possible. Together, we're preparing students for the financial decisions ahead.

Understanding money can shape the choices students make today and the opportunities they have tomorrow.

By learning to save and spend wisely, students build the skills and confidence to make informed financial decisions and create a more secure future.

What students experience today can shape what they believe is possible tomorrow.

When students have opportunities to explore, create, and learn by doing, they begin to see themselves in new ways—and imagine possibilities for their future.

Every experience can be a starting point.

The Finance Park experience starts in the classroom.

JA Finance Park combines curriculum-based learning with a hands-on financial literacy simulation, helping students connect classroom lessons to real-world financial decisions.

With two curriculum tracks depending on grade level, educators can choose the right fit for their students—from foundational money management to career exploration, investing, and long-term financial planning.

Teachers can play a key role in bringing this experience to their school. Start the conversation with school leadership and help make JA Finance Park part of your students’ learning journey.
