Tour JA BizTown™

JA BizTown is a one-of-a-kind program designed to help 5th and 6th grade students learn financial literacy, entrepreneurship and responsible citizenship.  Our JA BizTown is located on Delgado Community College, City Park Campus and is the only JA BizTown in Louisiana and one of 25 worldwide.

There are 14 businesses in our 10,000 square foot town, including a bank, restaurant, television studio, newspaper, delivery center, town hall, humane society, health center, gift shop, electronics store, realtor, utility company, and savings and investments firm.

Students first apply for jobs, such as CEO, CFO, technicians, designers, salespersons, and then when in their business teams, they formulate a business plan and prepare themselves to run their business for one day. While at JA BizTown, student work hard to earn their paycheck then they can spend their income at any of the town businesses using their personal checkbooks. CEOs and CFOs have the added responsibility of making sure their business loans are paid and their business has earned a profit.
