Time: 10:00 AM ET

 

The JA Take Stock in Your Future program is a dynamic 5-week course that introduces students to stock fundamentals, market impacts, and investment strategies. Through engaging lessons and practical exercises, students gain essential skills in financial literacy and investment decision-making.

The program culminates in the Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge, where students manage $1,000,000 in simulated investments. With each trading day limited to just 60 seconds, they experience the thrill of fast-paced decision-making and portfolio management, applying what they've learned in a competitive and interactive environment.

To express our gratitude, we invite our supporters to an exclusive evening event. Network with Connecticut’s top professionals, enjoy food and drinks, and engage in a repeat of the stock market simulation. Test your skills and compete for trophies in this lively and engaging setting.
