The JA Stock Market Challenge is an electrifying, fast-paced simulation where high school students step into the role of stock traders. Teams will experience the thrills and challenges of Wall Street in real time, making split-second decisions, reacting to breaking news, and competing to build the strongest portfolio. It’s an unforgettable way to bring financial literacy, investment strategies, and teamwork to life.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there! In the evening, sponsors and guests will take the trading floor themselves in a high-energy simulation designed exclusively for adults. This one-of-a-kind experience gives corporate teams the chance to test their trading savvy, celebrate with colleagues, and enjoy the same exhilarating challenge the students faced earlier in the day.

By sponsoring the Stock Market Challenge, you not only inspire and prepare the next generation—you also get to join the action firsthand.

Join us as we combine education, competition, and community engagement for one of the most dynamic events of the year!
