JA Finance Park allows students to experience their personal financial futures first-hand. Upon entering the center, students receive a ‘life situation’ with job, income, education, and family scenarios. Based on their adult persona, students visit businesses in the simulation to gather information about different financial decisions in order to complete a balanced household budget.  Volunteers serve as personal financial advisors for the day, coaching students through the decisions they need to make.
