At Junior Achievement of Greater St. Louis, two "mini-city" experiential programs, JA BizTown (5th and 6th grade) and JA Finance Park (middle and high school), significantly transform how every fifth through high school student throughout Missouri is taught to view the world of work, free enterprise, and his or her possibilities for success. Students buzz with the excitement of learning and challenges that adults face every day in the real world.
After hours of curriculum taught in the classroom by the teacher, students will embark on their JA experience where they will put into practice what they have learned back at school. They put their classroom instruction to work as they practice decision-making and learn about leadership and teamwork.
Volunteers are needed to help guide, assist, and facilitate students in a specific storefront during their on-site simulation in JA BizTown or JA Finance Park. The time commitment is approximately 5 hours and may vary per school schedule. The first thirty minutes of the day will include all of the training you need to help the students successfully navigate the "real" world.
