ORGANIZATION: Junior Achievement of Southern California

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 2 people are interested

Junior Achievement is bringing our hands-on curriculum to over 250 elementary school students for ONE SCHOOL DAY! Our "JA Day" is a great way to impact future leaders, teaching them about different jobs in a community, the difference between needs vs. wants, and even the concepts of profit and loss through a fun hot dog stand game.

Requirements:

  • You will be trained and given teaching material 1-2 weeks prior to the event
  • You will need to set aside 1-2 hours to prepare for your class
  • The teacher will be in the classroom with you for the entire day, so you do not have to have prior experience in the classroom or working with students
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Stephanie Fabro at sfabro@jasocal.org

Mission Statement

To educate and inspire young people to value free enterprise, business and economics in order to improve the quality of their lives.

Description

Junior Achievement of Southern California is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Our three pillars of success: entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness, are helping prepare young people for the real world by showing the economic relevance of staying in school, building self-confidence, and inspiring them to dream big for their futures.

At JA Finance Park, students are given a unique life profile after answering a series of future lifestyle questions. Their life profile includes an income, marital status, even kids! Using this new adult persona, students work to create a balanced monthly budget while making decision regarding housing, transportation, insurance, savings, entertainment expenses and much more.
