Volunteers deliver JA classroom-based learning experiences in area schools, often in our “JA in a Day” format of one day, 2-3 hours, multiple lessons.
Volunteers host a tradeshow style booth while students move about at their own pace, interacting with the volunteers.
Volunteers present to and interact with a classroom of students for 25-45 minutes per rotation. Multiple groups rotate through the presenters' classroom.
JA Town is an immersive simulation experience. Volunteers host booths representing various businesses and service providers and guide students in making decisions on their monthly spending.
