Do you want to "pay it forward" but can’t commit time to a long-term project? JA-in-a-Day is the perfect volunteer opportunity, especially for someone who is concerned about the future success and economic health of young people and the community in which they will live and work. At this event, volunteers help students acquire success skills by teaching Junior Achievement’s innovative financial literacy, work-readiness and entrepreneurship curricula in a condensed time frame. The experience is powerful and rewarding for both volunteers and students. Junior Achievement of Northern California needs volunteers for the next JA-in-Day, May 14th, at Majestic Way Elemntary.
