Junior Achievement is an educational nonprofit that brings financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship programming into classrooms from kindergarten through high school.
Our corporate and community volunteers deliver our programming that empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world - enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
There is an opportunity to teach our Junior Achievement 'Entrepreneurship' and/or 'Marketing' programs to Proviso West High School students. All of the program materials are provided by Junior Achievement - free of charge - and will be overviewed during a 30 minute training session prior to teaching.
The time commitment is to teach during one class period, ONCE or TWICE a week, for 4-6 weeks starting at the beginning of March. You are welcomed to teach more than one period as well!

Description
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. In partnership with businesses and educators, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.
Our corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world - enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
Throughout JA's sequential and integrated kindergarten through high school programs, students think critically and solve complex problems. Through our business, financial, and entrepreneurial educational programs, we prepare students to:
- Proactively manage their finances;
- Become entrepreneurs; and
- Develop skills that will be recognized and valued in a global workforce.
During the 2017-2018 school year, JA of Chicago successfully reached 600,222 students of all ages, races, ethnic backgrounds and physical capabilities, including at-risk youth in twelve Chicago-area and northwestern Indiana counties.
