A city is a place where a lot of people live, work, play, and go to school. So JA classroom volunteers help students build a city! The students construct paper buildings, map out a city, write newspaper articles, plan their own restaurants, and examine why banks are important.

Our City considers economic development, local businesses, and career opportunities.  See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.

Among the many resources contained in the Our City program kit, a “City Zones” poster illustrates different aspects of a city.  For more information about this program, read the Program Summary.

Volunteers have helped us put together a few tips for this program.   Click on here for Program Tips.
