EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO OWN THEIR ECONOMIC SUCCESS
JA BizTown(r) 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(r), a hands-on simulated learning facility that features many different businesses and industries. During their time at JA BizTown(r), 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.
Program Highlights:
* Discuss the roles they play as citizens, workers, and consumers in their community and relate those roles to the free enterprise system.
* Discuss the importance of citizen rights and responsibilities in a community.
* Demonstrate a basic understanding of the free enterprise system.
* Build money management skills through practical knowledge of economic concepts and banking practices.
* Develop an understanding of basic business practices and responsibilities.
* Display the soft skills necessary for successful participation in the world of work.
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. Please bring your government-issued ID and a bagged lunch. We do not have microwaves available for use. Business casual clothes and comfortable shoes are recommended.
