Capital One/Junior Achievement Finance Park is a hands-on learning lab that helps students build a foundation for making personal financial decisions. The program includes classroom teacher-led activities culminating in a visit to Finance Park. The program was developed with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, based on the belief that strong financial skills are crucial building blocks for future success.

 

We look forward to hearing from you and answering your questions:
