As a volunteer, you will play a crucial role in guiding fourth through sixth grade students through hands-on workplace, business, and personal finance challenges within a simulated city. The JA BizTown experience empowers students to apply their knowledge in a practical setting, fostering a deeper understanding of how our economy works.
