BizTown engages students in the roles of workers and consumers in a series of classroom lessons that culminates in a day-long visit to BizTown. Through daily lessons, hands-on activities and active participation in the simulated community, students develop a strong understanding of the relationship between what they learn in school and their successful participation in a worldwide economy.  Junior Achievement of Arizona will reach more than 100,000 students during the 2013-2014 school year.  For more information on Junior Achievement call (480) 377-8500 or visit www.jaaz.org.
