At JA Finance Park presented by the USAA Foundation, each student becomes “an adult for the day” in an electronic simulation. The students are assigned a life scenario so they can experience firsthand the real-life challenges of making personal budgeting decisions. After calculating their net monthly income and savings goals, students visit kiosks that represent different budget categories such housing, health insurance, groceries, and utilities. Anyone with real world monthly budgeting experience can become a volunteer. JA Finance Park Volunteers play a key role by helping the students understand the concepts of personal financial planning and career exploration. Volunteers provide guidance and assistance while monitoring and verifying students’ work.
New Feature! Submit pictures to this volunteer event through the USAA Serves Mobile App - Should you choose to upload pictures from your volunteer experience, you are consenting to the use of your pictures and image by USAA as we see fit, internally or externally. Further, if there are non-employees in the picture(s), you warrant that you are able to grant the same permissions to use on their behalf. For this event, do not take pictures of the students.

Don't have your Volunteer shirt or need a new one? Instructions to order your shirt are under Quick Links above.

Guess what!?! Your volunteer hours for this event will be tracked automatically within 3 days of the event.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM USAA CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY: USAA Serves system does not send cancellation notices to the junior achievement coordinator if you remove yourself from the event. Students are scheduled for this field trip based on the number of volunteers signed up to participate. It is extremely important that if you sign up, you show up. If for some reason after signing up, you are unable to attend, you must do the following:
1. Notify martin Longoria at mlongoria@jast.org
2. Cancel your participation in USAA Serves so another USAAvolunteer can take your spot.
3. If your cancellation is within 7 days, you must call ja directly to notify at 210-490-2007 ext105 in addition to the steps outlined above.
Junior Achievement will need to work quickly to fill your spot so the students are taken care of. Our ultimate goal is to represent USAA’s brand well, be good corporate citizens and partners to our nonprofit community members, and most importantly be there for these students, many of whom are in economically disadvantaged areas. When we do not show, this makes the event very challenging for junior achievement, for the remaining volunteers, and for the students. Any questions about the policy above, contact usaaserves@usaa.com

Our online mentoring programme is available to young people aged between 14 – 18 who have already taken part in our in-school mentoring programme. They have already practiced networking, public speaking and made a start on their CV. The online mentoring sessions allows the opportunity for them to meet with other professionals and gain one-2-one support with practical tasks.

Mentoring with LVN is easy:
• Attend 30-minute training session.
• Complete your onboarding profile.
• Support a student to complete sections of the LVN Online mentoring work booklet.

Our students are interested in meeting professionals from all industries and at any stage of their careers. To get involved we just need your willingness to be open about your experience and a genuine desire to listen to and help young people.
The young people we work with are considered most disadvantaged, lacking networks and missing positive role models in their lives. In line with our theory of change, we offer a speed networking approach to online mentoring which gives students the opportunity to meet lots of different professionals.

The objective of the LVN Online mentoring sessions is to build:
• Digital literacy and online etiquette: 44% of jobs are either hybrid or fully remote and many initial interviews take place online.
• Confidence in speaking to new and diverse people: In line with our theory of change, students grow each time they meet a new professional.
• Know-how: Mentors support the students to work through our 9 topics in order of their priority. By meeting a range of mentors, the students increase their understanding of available roles in the world of work.

Where possible we will match students with a mentor based on industry interests, but it is more likely that the match will be generic. Mentors will meet a different student each session they attend, spend 10 minutes finding out about each other and 20 minutes supporting them with a booklet topic.
