*There is an urgent need for volunteers on this day. Please reach out as soon as possible if you are able to donate your time*
JA Finance Park® is now in Montgomery County! Since 2011, over 90,000 MCPS middle school students have learned personal finance skills in the classroom through Junior Achievement. The program has transitioned to a 7th grade lesson sequence and field trip to the state-of-the-art JA Finance Park immersive learning facility located on the top floor of the new Thomas Edison High School of Technology in Silver Spring, MD.
At JA Finance Park, students become “adults” for the day with a career, salary, credit score and financial obligations that they must balance. Volunteers are needed on Thursday, October 18th and Friday, October 19th to help guide students from William H. Farquhar Middle School through budgeting considerations during this lifelike, hands-on simulation. Check out this video to meet a JA Finance Park student and learn why students say, “This place makes me appreciate my parents’ hard work!”
