Invest in the Future

Step up for their success

Bring JA to your classroom

Elementary school students are not old enough to drive, work, vote, or be the boss.

But that doesn't stop them from operating banks, managing restaurants, writing checks, and voting for mayor at JA BizTown!

The program combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to this fully-interactive simulated town facility. The program helps students connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world.

Through daily lessons, hands-on activities, and active participation in this simulated community designed to support differentiated learning styles, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and their successful participation in a worldwide economy.

Thanks to the expertise and support of the Community Foundation of Louisville, JA BizTown's Philanthropy Center teaches students about the importance of giving to help others in the community.
