WIIIN is thrilled to partner with Junior Achievement Southern California on a personal finance mentorship day for 12th grade students from LAUSD’s GALA (Girls Academic Leadership Academy, an all-girls school in the LAUSD school system focused on STEM). This event promises not only to enlighten students about the realms of budgeting but also to offer an unparalleled opportunity for volunteers to make a lasting impact on the futures of these young women.
As a volunteer with JA Finance Park, you will help students navigate the world of personal finances as they assume the role of an "adult for the day." At JA Finance Park, students are given a unique life profile (job, income, marital status, etc.) after answering a series of future lifestyle questions. Using this new adult persona, students work to create a balanced monthly budget while making decisions regarding housing, transportation, insurance, savings, entertainment expenses and much more.
Volunteers are needed to mentor small groups of students throughout their day at JA Finance Park. No special budgeting expertise is necessary as volunteers will be provided with comprehensive training to prepare for this impactful role.
Date: Thursday, April 25th from 7:45am – 2:15pm PDT (lunch will be provided)
Note: We will need all volunteers to arrive at 7:45am for training and stay until 2:15pm PDT to send off the students and assist in resetting the space.
Location: JA SoCal Campus (6250 Forest Lawn Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90068)
*Free parking on-site*
