Junior Achievement's volunteer-led kindergarten-12th grade classroom programs foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy skills. By being a JA volunteer and sharing your personal and professional experiences and skills with students from your community, you help them make the connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to exceed in work and life.
JA volunteers choose which grade level in which to volunteer. Each program has 5-7 sessions, depending on the grade level. For the investment of only 30 to 45 minutes per session, you may be the difference between a young person in your community just making ends meet or getting a more fulfilling career and life.
JA programs have been developed to be completely turn-key and hassle free for you.
