EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO OWN THEIR ECONOMIC SUCCESS

JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. After learning in the classroom, students put their skills to work by becoming employees for a day at JA BizTown, a hands-on simulated learning facility that features many different businesses and industries. During their time at JA BizTown, students operate a simulated economy and take on the challenge of running businesses. They get hands-on experience as both employees and consumers, paying rent, taxes, and utilities, buying advertising from the radio station, purchasing insurance, depositing paychecks and buying other business’ products, handling customer service, and more.
Volunteers will be assigned to a storefront and act as business advisors to help guide the students through their day. Training will be held in the morning before the students arrive.

More than 1,500 youth “age out” of the Los Angeles foster care system each year without parents or family to support them in the difficult transition to adulthood. The Alliance for Children’s Rights offers these youth workshops on topics instrumental to achieving and maintaining independence. Previous topics have included goal setting, budgeting, consumer literacy, nutrition, and coping with trauma. The workshops help to fill the learning gaps that often affect foster youth and impact their ability to maintain employment and pursue higher education.

The Alliance is seeking volunteers to develop and lead a life-skills workshop for our young adult clients. You would bring the topic and the expertise, and Alliance staff would partner with you to craft a presentation that is relevant and compelling for the youth we serve. Workshops are held at the Alliance office, with refreshments provided by our team.

Date and time to be set based on volunteer availability. Weekends are preferred. Workshops typically take place the Alliance's headquarters. Free, underground parking is available onsite.
