JA BIZTOWN <3

What: At JA BizTown, the students are in charge! They become “grown-ups” for a day in an interactive life sized city that reflects San Diego County businesses and architecture. In each business, students work as a CEO, CFO, or a business-specific job such as the bank teller at WaMu or San Diego National Bank or a guest service specialist at Jack in the Box. Throughout the day, they earn a paycheck, deposit it in the bank, write checks for purchases in our bustling shops, and pay bills – just like real life! The students leave JA BizTown feeling personally successful after spending the day working hard at their jobs. They also leave with a greater understanding of the value of a dollar, the importance of teamwork, and how to be a contributing citizen in the community. The time spent at JA BizTown is only one day, but the impact will last a life time.

What we will be doing: We are assigned to one of our exciting BizTown shops. We will answer questions from students and mentor them on making wise business and personal financial decisions. We will assist with their break schedules. We will be given "Biz dollars" so that we can shop at BizTown too!
