I first went to JA Finance Park as a totally lost teenager who thought budgeting meant choosing between getting gas or lunch with your friends. I had no clue about money and no real guidance, but that day at JA Finance Park planted a seed.

Fast forward ten years, and I’m a successful tech saleswoman, supporting my whole family, and I even kept some of my JA Finance Park materials! Now I volunteer there with Conga, helping little Willows get a leg up on their financial futures. It may feel like “just a field trip” to them now, but JA Finance Park truly changes young lives with each visit.

I don’t know where I’d be without the program, and I am so grateful to give back to the community through this organization.
