Volunteer: JA Finance Park® Volunteer

As a JA Finance Park® volunteer, you guide students through a realistic, hands-on budgeting simulation that helps them understand personal finance and real-world decision-making. Volunteers work in small groups to help students make choices about income, expenses, savings, and lifestyle—bringing financial concepts to life. Students arrive at Lincoln Finance Park prepared through classroom lessons for their simulation. During their visit, they step into the role of adults for the day, managing a monthly budget for themselves and their life scenario.

Volunteers guide students through the process and attend a brief on-site training 30 minutes before arrival to understand their role and the simulation. Your support helps students build confidence, think critically, and see how today’s decisions shape their future.

Volunteer opportunities are available for the 2026–2027 school year—contact JA for open dates.

Volunteer: JA BizTown® Volunteer

JA BizTown® combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to our simulated town. This popular learning experience allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. Volunteering is a one day commitment that includes an on-site training one hour prior to student arrival. Each volunteer will then be assigned a business where they will assist a group of 4-10 students throughout their work tasks and responsibilities.
