Junior Achievement of Arizona is currently looking for volunteers to help out at the 13th annual Junior Achievement Stock Market Challenge! This unique event has become the biggest buzz of the valley. Last year alone, this event raised more than $160,000 and unified executives and community leaders from top Arizona companies in the desire to make a true impact on the lives of Arizona’s children. In 2018 the funds raised at the Stock Market Challenge allowed Junior Achievement to serve more than 4100 new students with financial literacy and important life skills education!... and we couldn’t have done it without volunteers like you!
Below is an overview of the volunteer opportunities for this year’s event.

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.
