JA of Central Carolinas Events
At JA of Central Carolinas, we host several events throughout the year to raise money to support our programming. These events also engage the community in our efforts to reach students! Whether you'd like to get involved on an individual level or as a business through event sponsorship, we offer several ways for you to support our work while having a great time!
JA Finance Park
Happening Now!
JA Finance Park is Junior Achievement’s signature program for 7th & 8th grade, providing a hands-on education in personal financial planning and career exploration. At the culmination of this teacher-led program, students participate in an on-site visit to the TowneBank Opportunity HQ (in Charlotte, NC) or through a virtual experience. This opportunity allows students to apply all they've learned through an interactive simulation that provides real-world experiences.
JA Biztown
Happening Now!
JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town located in JA's Opportunity HQ (in Charlotte, NC). This popular program allows 6th grade students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. The program helps students connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world.
