We have big news to share!

The Junior Achievement of Lincoln Stock Market Challenge is now the largest event of its kind in the entire country, and this year we’re getting even bigger!

This year’s event will be hosted at Pinnacle Bank Arena this spring, and ALL Nebraska high school teachers are invited to have their students compete, either in-person or virtually.

We’re almost confirmed on a final date, so please mark your calendars for April 18 OR May 2, 2023. We'll confirm the final date in January.

So what exactly IS the JA of Lincoln Stock Market Challenge? It’s giant screens, frenzied traders, 60 days of simulated trading condensed into 80 minutes, and a fun opportunity for companies to support financial education for kids in our community. By taking part in the JA Stock Market Challenge, you will help enable more than 1,000 Nebraska high school students to participate in this exciting competitive event, where they will learn valuable skills about investing fundamentals, personal financial responsibility, careers in finance, and empower them for future success.

There are several ways your business can be a part of this impactful event, including corporate sponsorships and the opportunity to sponsor student teams of four from the high school of your choice. Either way, you are making it possible for students from across the state to prepare for life in the real world.
