Various grades at this School (K- 8) would like to have a Junior Achievement (JA) program in their classroom led by a volunteer. We provide all of the materials, games, activities and an overview on how to prepare. Most of the classrooms at the School would like a volunteer to visit the classroom for about 4 or 5 visits for approx. 30- 40 minutes each time. You would lead one of the lessons/activities on each visit.
The older grades might be able to accommodate one long visit (approx. 3 hours with breaks) to teach 4 lessons during the visit. The JA programs are designed to be engaging, educational and fun!
They focus on teaching:
- Financial Literacy
- Entrepreneurship
- Work Readiness/Career Exploration.
Please help us empower young people to own their economic success!
