Imagine who you could inspire by teaching the Junior Achievement curriculum at Kealing Middle School?!?
JA is a non-profit organization that partners with volunteers from the community to teach elementary students about their roles as individuals, workers and consumers, and to prepare middle/high school students for key economic and workforce issues they will face.
JA’s purpose is to inspire young people to value free enterprise, business and economics to improve the quality of their lives and be workforce ready.
We have multiple availabilities (days and times) for grades sixth through eighth starting late February/ early March dependant on getting a full cohort of volunteers. All volunteers will also be required to attend a training session. We take pride in volunteer customer service - everything you need to know we will provide and JA staff are always available to help. So, dive in and inspire a young mind with us!
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
