Junior Achievement - BizTown

Kick Off The New Year By Giving Back! 

JA BizTown is a simulated workshop located inside the Junior Achievement facility; 4^th - 6^th graders (primarily 5^th graders) run the economy and become producers and consumers for the day. This simulation combines in-class learning with the “real world.”  Students have to complete 15 in-class lessons before they can attend JA BizTown.  During the visit to JA BizTown each student will be pre-assigned to work in a business.  The “citizens” of JA BizTown had to interview for their job prior to their arrival to JA BizTown.  Each business will have a CEO and CFO assigned.  Students will learn to operate a bank, credit union, restaurant, city hall, newspaper, newsroom, retail store and several other businesses.  Each student will be given a debit card, a checkbook and JA BizTown cash.
