A want versus a need. How to balance a checkbook. Don't you wish that someone had taught you those things as you were growing up?
Now there is someone. YOU. 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 provides the training, curriculum, and a classroom ready to meet you.
Our current need for Roosevelt Magnet School includes Kindergarten - 7th grade. If you are interested in volunteering in one of these grades, please contact Rachel Tan (rachel.tan@ja.org).
All materials are provided to teach students about financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship through experiential, hands-on programs. Only 5-7 sessions of less than an hour required.
