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.
