- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
After completing their classroom lessons, students head to the JA BizTown facility for an exhilarating simulated city experience. Through role-play, the simulation helps students connect the dots between classroom learning and real life. Students assume various roles, including CEO, CFO, utility worker, restaurant owner, disc jockey, and lawyer. Before you begin the JA BizTown program, JA staff will provide training so you are comfortable with the simulation experience. You will become familiar with the daily schedule, the work expected of the students, and your roles and responsibilities. You will also be instructed on how to use the Volunteer Guide and Volunteer Checklist to help facilitate the experience. Volunteers are key to the success of this program. JA staff will be available to answer your questions, make suggestions and provide full support throughout the day of the simulation. The time commitment is minimal compared to the significant impact you make. The approximately six-hour day includes volunteer training ans the five-hour simulation. You will be astonished by how much the students accomplish in such a short period of time.

Mission Statement
To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. JA programs offer a wide variety of people the opportunity to apply their expertise to the educational needs of our communities' students from kindergarten through the 12th grade in an effective and fun way.
Description
Volunteers are the core of Junior Achievement's impact in the classroom. Trained volunteers visit classrooms for about 45 minutes once a week for 5 to 8 sessions, depending on the grade level. The volunteer uses his or her own experience in conjunction with the JA curriculum to teach about business principles, decision-making and critical thinking skills. Junior Achievement provides all materials, training, and volunteer support. Visit www.jadallas.org to sign up today!
Our approach is simple yet highly effective. JA facilitates a powerful partnership between business and education: JA develops the innovative K-12 programs; schools provide the access; the business community provides the financial support and volunteers to deliver the hands-on curriculum to students.
