Opportunity Details

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.

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

The Kids Co-op is expanding and needs lots of help to role out our many different services that contributes to a blueprint template for any rural school or community to replicate. We are the recipient of the 2023 USDA Farm to School grant that involves putting greenhouses, salad bars, indoor grow towers and gardens into 12 Sanders County schools. We're also going to be delivering local food to the schools for the next two years by setting up an online ordering and bi-monthly distribution. We have a school fundraising program where the students will get prizes and funds for community uplifting projects from the proceeds of the CSA and other local food subscriptions they sell and help distribute. We need help to develop a website other than just using our Facebook page. This will need an online store to market everything from local food to local art, body products, home products, and mostly product from the NW region and Montana. Also need to tie into community outreach via social media and other methods. We also are need of coordinating fundraising events and grant writing to purchase the building we're renting.
