What to Expect
Earn & Learn transforms the museum into an interactive financial playground. Children can take on real-world “jobs” throughout the galleries to earn wooden tokens, then decide whether to save or spend them at the Earn & Learn Shop. Along the way, they’ll explore concepts like earning, saving, and making thoughtful choices in familiar settings like a grocery store, café, and riverfront.
LCPA volunteers and Junior Achievement staff will guide activities that introduce money identification, saving, charitable giving, and early career exploration. Older children can participate in additional experiences led by Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans.
Caregiver Sessions
Parents and caregivers can also take part in informative discussions focused on building financial confidence at home. Topics include allowances, college savings, and how to have age-appropriate conversations about money.
Scheduled sessions include:
- 11:30 a.m. – Setting Up an Allowance to Teach Financial Responsibility
