About this Event
JA Finance Park Homeschool Day
Developed to Educate - Designed to Inspire
Imagine a generation of students armed with the confidence and understanding to take control of their futures and be equipped to achieve their dreams.
The JA Finance Park Homeschool Day is an engaging, hands-on experience that helps students ages 13-15 to develop an understanding of basic business principles and the world of work ahead. They’ll learn first-hand what it means to be a citizen of a community, how to get a job, and how to make wise financial decisions to achieve the future they want for themselves and their families.
The simulation runs from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Mike & Lynn Cottrell JA Discovery Center in North Georgia.
WHAT IS JA FINANCE PARK?
After in-class lessons on subjects like budgeting and credit scores, students are assigned a random ‘life situation’ with an education level, salary, and family scenario. They visit storefronts representing the major line items in a budget – housing, utilities, food, etc. – and work towards providing for themselves and their families within their assigned means.
(Ages 13-15)
