Junior Achievement Finance Park Volunteer Opportunity

Today's young people need a strong foundation for making intelligent, lifelong, personal financial decisions.As a volunteer with JA Finance Park, you will help students navigate the world of personal finances as they assume the role of an "adult for the day."

At JA Finance Park, students are given a unique life profile after answering a series of future lifestyle questions. Their life profile includes an income, marital status, even kids! Using this new adult persona,students work to create a balanced monthly budget while making decisions regarding housing, transportation, insurance, savings, entertainment expenses and much more.

Volunteers are needed to mentor small groups of students throughout their day at JA Finance Park. No special budgeting expertise or preparation is necessary and thorough training is provided for all volunteers! Please see the attached document for more information. This is a great opportunity to volunteer with CFALA members, give back to our community and promote financial literacy.  Lunch will be provided.
