Opportunity Details

ENGAGE: Fun with Finance!



Share your personal finance experience with a group of high school students that have been taught a curriculum on budgeting that culminates into a tablet based/experiential session at the Junior Achievement facility.

The students are assigned a profile which includes details about their family, job, and background. They will then create and adhere to a personal financial budget for the duration of the day, learning how to make the best choices with the hand that they’ve been dealt/chosen. Students will learn how to make critical life choices (applying for a mortgage, buying a car, securing insurance etc.) based on their profiles that they are assigned.

You'll be trained on using the tablets for the simulation during the first hour of your shift. You'll then be assigned a group of 10-20 students to work with; answering simple life questions on budgeting and guiding their students through the simulation experience. 

Additional skills or a speciality in finance is not needed, just the patience to work with a group of students and the willingness to engage and share your own life experiences as they relates to budgeting and finances.
