JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT CITY
Junior Achievement City is a host to over 9,000 fifth and eighth grade students from 101 schools during the 2010/2011 school year! JA City is located in Discovery Gateway in Downtown Salt Lake City. JA City is home to over 20 storefronts sponsored by local businesses. Students bring this 10,000 square foot learning facility to life as they operate banks, manage restaurants, vote for JA City mayor, develop working budgets and manage their business and personal finances. Students think creatively, demonstrate personal responsibility, solve problems and attain their goals in this hand-on experience!
