ORGANIZATION: Junior Achievement of North Florida

  • 4 people are interested

We are looking for volunteers to share their careers with students at Junior Achievement's Reverse Job Shadow on Wedensday, May 6 at Kirby Smith Middle School.

Traditional job shadows bring students to the workplace. JA Reverse Job Shadow brings the workplace to the students!

Volunteers from the business community -- corporate, small business, entrepreneurs, government, military and much more -- are given a table to set up a display. Banners, tablecloths, brochures, photos, "show and tell items," the extent of your display is up to you!

Students are divided into groups of 4-6 and rotate around to each station to ask questions and see what each type of job and career field has to offer.

You can see more about JA Reverse Job Shadow by clicking the "Programs" tab on our website at www.jajax.com.
