Volunteer: JA Finance Park Volunteer - Help students understand budgeting!The JA Finance Park program teaches financial literacy to students in grades 7th-12th. They complete 12 lessons in the classroom at school prior to their visit with us where they will put their learning to the test in our budgeting simulation. This program teaches essential skills in personal finance that lead to a lifetime of financial peace. We need volunteers to work with a small group of students for the day, leading discussions and sharing your personal experiences. Students receive a life scenario, income, and credit rating with which they apply for loans, create a budget, and then try to live within that budget. Students gain a lot of eye-opening knowledge about how much things cost and how to live within their means. This is a great opportunity to facilitate hands on learning and ideal for anyone with a passion for financial literacy that enjoys working with students. Training is provided each day prior to student arrival. We need 12 volunteers each day that students are on site. This is a one-day opportunity with many dates in the 24-25 school year to choose from. Contact ssniegowski@jawis.org to sign up or for more information.
