Do you want to make an impact on the next generation of leaders?
Help us prepare today's youth to have successful financial futures!
Junior Achievement's mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. We do this by sending trained volunteers into the classroom to facilitate our pre-planned activities on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.
We are looking for volunteers to teach the JA Economics for Success program with 7th and 8th grade students at Gililland Middle school near Priest and University.
- Volunteers will be asked to teach a total of six 45min lessons with the students. Lessons are typically taught one per week for about 6 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.
- All six lessons must be completed prior winter break in December 2019.
- Volunteers will need to 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!

Mission Statement
Junior Achievement: Empowering young people to own their economic success.
Description
Did you know that the majority of Arizona CEOs believe employees lack critical skills that are needed to succeed in the workplace? More than half of adults under 30 do not keep a personal budget, their average debt is over $45,000, and 12% of them don’t even have a job.
It’s our responsibility to empower future generations - to equip them with the skills and knowledge to be successful and pursue their dreams. These are our kids, grandchildren, our future colleagues, and community leaders. The success of our economy depends on their preparedness.
With the support of thousands of education, business, and volunteer partners, we are giving kids the tools to succeed. Our volunteer mentors from the community teach students about the importance of money management, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurial thinking. Arming today’s youth with this critical education will result in less financial instability and debt, a better-trained workforce, a more robust economy, and healthier families.
