Volunteer for one day at Canoga Park Elementary!
ORGANIZATION: Junior Achievement of Southern California
Please visit the new page to apply.
This is a one day opportunity called a JA Day. A JA Day is an event where volunteers go into a classroom for one school day and teach 4 or 5 JA activities. Prior to the JA Day, volunteers attend a 90 minute training and are given a JA kit. Each JA kit contains all of the materials a volunteer would possibly need to teach students. JA curriculum aligns with common core standards for Math, English and Language Arts, so rest assured you are delivering a quality lesson. Volunteers are encouraged to interweave their business experience with the lesson. JA Days have a profound impact on our students. Our lessons focus on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and workforce readiness. Volunteers love this opportunity because it is a great way to get familiar with JA, it’s only a one-day commitment, and it puts them directly in a classroom with students.
