JA’S IN-CLASSROOM CURRICULUM
PREPARES TOMORROW’S WORKFORCE.
With a focus on financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship,
Junior Achievement’s classroom curriculum complements what our hard-working
educators are already doing to prepare our youth to succeed in the future, both
personally and professionally.
Serving as mentors, our volunteers share their personal and professional
experiences in managing the economics of life, and impart practical, real-world
knowledge to thousands of students every year - more than 50% of whom come
from low-income backgrounds.
Time Commitment:
Attend a volunteer training at our Tempe office
Teach five lessons during one school day
Teachers remain in the classroom at all times
1 to 3 years work experience required
JA’s impact would not be possible without the mentors, donors, and schools who partner together to make a difference.

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.
