Junior Achievement needs volunteers who want to volunteer virtually to help young people prepare for success in the work world. Volunteers teach K-12 grade students age-appropriate lessons about how businesses work, how to unleash their entrepreneurial spirit, and how to manage their money, regardless of their income.
Virtual Volunteer opportunities are available in pre-recorded video or live video formats and can vary in length based on time commitment needs. Junior Achievement connects you with a classroom teacher and a schedule and format is determined for your virtual volunteering. Junior Achievement provides the digital materials needed to deliver the academic-based, classroom lesson plans and activities. You receive training on how to use the materials before your enter the classroom.
We are recruiting volunteers to be involved virtually in a variety of JA Programs during the academic school year. We know these virtually-focused environments are new to many and will have flexibility in determining the format that best works for students as well as you, our valued JA Volunteer. These opportunities are available in the Dane County Area, consisting of Dane, Sauk, Columbia, Dodge, Iowa, Jefferson, Crawford, Richland, and Lafayette counties.
Check out this brief video that provides an overview of what it takes to be a JA Virtual Volunteer in a virtual or remote setting.

It's easy for you, and can be life-changing for them. Contact us today to register as a volunteer. You can reach us at 608-288-8201 or by email at danecounty@jawis.org.

Mission Statement
Junior Achievement is a worldwide organization that inspires and prepares young people for a global economy by bringing volunteer business and community leaders into the classroom to teach work-readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy skills to young people (K-12 grades).
Description
Junior Achievement (JA) helps students realize the education they are getting today will help them to have a bright future tomorrow. Junior Achievement's unique, volunteer-delivered programs show students (grades K-12) all of the possibilities that lie before them. They realize they can choose different paths: attend college, enter a specific trade, or start their own business. Through your participation with Junior Achievement as an organization or as an individual, you will impact the students in your community. For those youth who have participated in Junior Achievement programs:
90% are confident managing their finances.
93% earn their high school diploma or GED (10% higher than the national average).
20% more income is earned compared to the general population.
88% are satisfied in their careers.
Junior Achievement provides volunteers with the academic-based, hands-on lessons and materials, along with training, to confidently teach financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work-readiness skills in the classroom. Volunteers work with the area's Junior Achievement staff and teachers to provide the lessons and share their knowledge and professional experience with the students.
It's easy, it's fun, and you positively impact the youth and schools in your community.
Junior Achievement of WI - Dane County provides programs in the following counties: Columbia, Crawford, Dane, Dodge, Iowa, Jefferson, Lafayette, Richland, and Sauk.
