Prepare our next generation for the world of entrepreneurship by leading the JA Be Entrepreneurial readiness program. By sharing only ONE hour a week for 5 - 7 weeks, you can help high school students develop the critical work skills they need to succeed in their future careers

JA Be Entrepreneurial introduces students to the essential elements of a practical business plan and then challenges them to start an entrepreneurial venture while still in high school.

Volunteers lead a total of five to seven 45-min lessons with the students. Lessons are taught once per week for 5 weeks.

• Flexible scheduling will allow the volunteer to work directly with the classroom teacher to schedule the lessons at a date/time convenient for each.
• Volunteers work with the same group of students each week, leading an interactive workshop.
• Junior Achievement supplies all materials and resources for our volunteers to successfully engage the students in the classroom.
• New Volunteers attend a volunteer orientation prior to teaching where they will receive the program and activity materials for their class.

You will make a difference in the lives of a classroom of students! Volunteer mentors are the magic behind our programs. In fact, 1 in 3 JA alumni credits their JA experience to influencing their career decision. And, 1 in 5 JA alumni has gone on to work in the field of their JA volunteer!
