Junior Achievement Classroom Volunteer - Imagine Prep Superstition

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Junior Achievement of Arizona

Do you want to make an impact on the next generation of leaders?
Help us prepare today's youth to have successful financial futures!

You will make a difference in the lives of a classroom of students! Volunteer mentors are the magic behind our programs. In fact, 1 in 3 JA alumni credits their JA experience to influencing their career decision. AND, 1 in 5 JA alumni has gone on to work in the field of their JA volunteer!

We are looking for volunteers to facilitate our JA You're Hired work readiness high school program. This program begins with volunteer-led lessons in the classroom focused on resume writing, interview skills, networking, problem solving, and collaboration. From there, select students come to our JA You’re Hired Challenge event on February 15th to compete against other valley high school students in various competitions. They get the opportunity to practice the skills learned in the classroom. Volunteers for this program typically lead one 45min lesson per week for about 5 weeks and we are looking for volunteers to get started in January.

It would not be possible to serve nearly 50,000 students in the classroom each year without committed volunteer mentors just like you.

About Junior Achievement of Arizona

Mission Statement

Junior Achievement: Empowering young people to own their economic success.

Description

Did you know that the majority of Arizona CEOs believe employees lack critical skills that are needed to succeed in the workplace? More than half of adults under 30 do not keep a personal budget, their average debt is over $45,000, and 12% of them don’t even have a job.

It’s our responsibility to empower future generations - to equip them with the skills and knowledge to be successful and pursue their dreams. These are our kids, grandchildren, our future colleagues, and community leaders. The success of our economy depends on their preparedness.

With the support of thousands of education, business, and volunteer partners, we are giving kids the tools to succeed. Our volunteer mentors from the community teach students about the importance of money management, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurial thinking. Arming today’s youth with this critical education will result in less financial instability and debt, a better-trained workforce, a more robust economy, and healthier families.
