Help Junior Achievement of Southern California prepare youth for the real world through our Personal Finance lessons at Synergy Charter Academy.

Volunteer in one class of high school students once a week for five weeks to facilitate hands-on lessons about budgeting, credit, and financial awareness.

There are multiple 1-hour time slots throughout the day. Lessons will be on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. Each volunteer will have to commit to one of the listed time slots for the duration of the program. Teaching pairs are welcome.

8:30-9:30
10:30-11:30
12:30-1:30

Junior Achievement provides you with a teaching kit that includes a detailed lesson guidebook and hand-outs/materials for each student. We also provide you with a brief training on classroom management and student engagement. The regular class teacher is always in the class with you, so you'll have support as you facilitate.

Sign up soon! Students are eagerly awaiting you to guide them through the important lessons that will help them navigate adulthood!
