11th Annual Stock Market Challenge - Student Event

Enter image description here
Featuring: JA Stock Market

JA Stock Market Challenge® is a live simulation where students take what they learned in the classroom, through the JA Take Stock in your Future® curriculum, and apply it to the real world. JA Areas facilitate fast-paced competitions based on a fictional marketplace. Students can compete in teams or individually, in person or remotely.

When: Thursday, October 22, 2026
Where: Akerman LLP
Time: 10:00 AM ET
This is not just a game, it’s a transformational experience for more than 5,000 local students over the school year. Your sponsorship helps them build financial literacy, career confidence, and real-world skills.

The JA Stock Market Challenge allows students to visualize, first-hand, how the laws of economics unfold in the real world. During their participation, students discover the benefits and challenges of investing in the stock market as part of a broader, long-term investment strategy and the risks and rewards of trading.
