JA in a Day is a unique opportunity to get involved with Junior Achievement (JA) without juggling schedule conflicts or a long-term commitment. We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers who want to bring their real-life experiences into classrooms in MNPS. At this event, volunteers will help students acquire success skills by teaching JA’s innovative and hands-on financial literacy, work-readiness, and entrepreneurship curricula in a condensed time frame. This experience is both powerful and rewarding for volunteers and students alike.
JA provides everything you will need to teach a JA in a Day lesson... all we need is you!
Today, JA reaches more than 4.8 million students per year in more than 100 markets across the United States.
This opportunity is perfect for employee volunteer programs.
Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee needs 24 volunteers for the next JA in a Day, Monday, March 4th, at Apollo Middle.

Mission Statement
Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee seeks to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.
Description
Kindergarten-12th grade students need to see the value of their education. They ask questions like: Why do I need to go to school? What difference will a high school diploma really make? Will classroom learning ever be applied outside of school? What is the point of math anyway?
Junior Achievement has the answers to those questions. Grade-specific programming is presented by community volunteers who teach students about economics, entrepreneurship, personal finance, workforce readiness, and other skills that students need to succeed in the real world. JA seeks to prepare our young people for the world of work, inspiring our future leaders and igniting a passion for excellence.
As a JA Volunteer, you will receive comprehensive training and a turnkey program materials kit that will provide you with all the resources needed to successfully lead a JA program in a local classroom. Programs are comprised of 5 weekly sessions at the elementary level, 6 at the middle school level, and 7 sessions at the high school level; each session takes 30-45 minutes to complete. Every effort is made to accommodate volunteers' geographic, time, and grade level preferences.
If you enjoy working with children, are passionate about business and financial responsibility, and are dedicated to ensuring today's children are prepared to become tomorrow's workforce, then consider serving as a JA volunteer.
