JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT CITY

Junior Achievement of Utah

Junior Achievement City is a 10,000 square-foot learning facility designed to help students understand and appreciate America's free enterprise system. The city has the look and feel of an actual community, including a City Hall, Town Square, banks, media outlets, grocery and furniture stores, a school district, real estate brokerage and other vital components of a city. After four to six weeks of preparation in their classrooms, Utah students come to Junior Achievement City to "act out" their role as a business owner, mayor, or employee. Approximately 12,000 Utah students each year will discover the connection between school and work, the basic components of financial responsibility, the benefits of teamwork, and other life skills. Most importantly, they will contribute to a city that is ON THE RISE! Learn more by visiting the Junior Achievement web site: www.ja-utah.org
