JA-Cover image Junior Achievement Finance Park 7th-9th Grade Finance Park is an awesome program for kids in 7th-9th grade. Participants meet for 6 sessions of classroom training and then enjoy an awesome field trip at Finance Park. The Tampa Bay HEAT has secured a date of Monday, November 10th, for our visit. We have limited spaces available for teachers who will assist with weekly classes and attend the trip as a chaperone. No younger siblings are allowed to attend the classroom training or the field trip event, so you will need to make other arrangements for siblings. Space is limited to 50 students. WHAT: Finance Park WHEN: Classes will meet on Fridays from 9:00 AM- 11:00 PM beginning September 27th through November 7th (skipping 10/24) and attend the field trip on Monday, November 10th from 10:15-1:30. Cost is $45 ($40 early) per student. Students should pack a lunch on the day of the field trip. All families who participate are required to assist in some way. A volunteer list will go out before classes begin. Imagine a generation where young people, no matter their background, know how to budget, save, and invest; a generation that is armed with the confidence and understanding to take control of their financial futures, their careers and the tools to achieve their dreams. Our mission is to provide students with opportunities to make those dreams a reality. At JA Finance Park students have the rare opportunity to experience their personal financial futures first-hand. Here, students participate in an immersive simulation that enables them to develop skills to successfully navigate today’s complex economic environment and discover how decisions today can impact tomorrow.
