Junior Achievement of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Reading Intermediate High School have partnered this year to bring JA Career Success, a program tailored for high school students, to all of their 9 th grade students. JA Career Success is set up to empower high school students with career related know-how and skills including job hunting, resume building, work priorities, and soft skills to equip them for in the 21 st -century workforce. JA is looking for adults in the Berks community who want to donate their time, knowledge, and passion to help the students begin to navigate the professional world.
All we need is your enthusiasm, life experience, and a willingness to teach children about how you took chances and shot for the stars. Junior Achievement will provide everything else; including training, curriculum and materials.
Each volunteer will commit to one class period that will occur on the same day of the week and same time for the course of seven weeks. Each session runs about 45 minutes. The total commitment is seven 45-minute sessions. We are planning to start the week of April 10th.

Mission Statement
Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Junior Achievement programs help to prepare young people for the real world by using experiential, hands-on learning.
Description
Our programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities. Junior Achievement matches volunteer or volunteer groups with programs and schools that fit their interests. Experiences include one-day opportunities or weekly experiences for individuals (typically 7 visits). In all cases, volunteers are paired with a teacher and classroom and will deliver scripted, age-appropriate workshops to involve students in their own learning. Volunteers are provided with training and all workshop materials. 85% of First-Time JA Volunteers would volunteer again and 99% of Junior Achievement volunteers would recommend JA to a colleague or friend!
Our programs impact more than 26,000 students in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties. Get involved today to help students in Southeastern Pennsylvania own their economic success!
