On September 20, 23, and 24, the 7th grade will be going to the MCPS Finance Park financial literacy simulation. And, we need volunteers to help make it run!

 

On the day of the field trip, volunteers for this activity drive themselves to the Thomas Edison High School of Technology, engage in a quick volunteer training, and then run a "store front" as students cycle through. The total time commitment is estimated to be 5.5 hours.

 

What: Finance Park field trip at MCPS’ Edison Center

When:  Friday, September 20 - Mr. McCutcheon Pd. 1-4

Monday, September 23 - Mr. Barnhouse Pd. 1-4

What does it mean to be a volunteer at JA Finance Park?


The total time commitment is 5.25 hours, including a 1-hour training the morning of your scheduled volunteer day.

  • You will help guide students through different phases of the day, which simulate real-world budgeting decisions, spending research, and bill payment
  • Then you will share your own life experiences and help them walk a day in your shoes. You bring the program to life!
