JA Finance Park® is a hands-on program which includes in-school, teacher-led activities culminating in an “off-site” visit to Capital One/JA Finance Park™, where volunteers mentor students as they make real life financial decisions.

Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park™ helps 7th-12th grade students build a foundation of intelligent, personal financial decision-making skills through an experiential, real life simulation. The program was created in 2006 through the cooperation and support of Capital One, JA Worldwide®, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice.

Teacher and Volunteer Information

“I learned that anything you want in life is going to have to be earned. Bills are a great responsibility and you need to spend your money wisely. Also, if you are able to get what you want, it will be more fulfilling because you must have worked hard to get it.” - JA Student, Truth Middle School, East Orange
