JA It's My Future offers practical information about preparing for the working world. Students explore potential careers, discover the four factors to consider in choosing a career, and recognize basic job-hunting tools.
JA It's My Future is composed of five sessions, each 45 minutes in length; as a volunteer, you will visit the school each Tuesday in April 11am-11:45am. Materials are packaged in a self-contained kit that includes detailed plans for the volunteer and materials for a classroom of students.
Session-specific, student-friendly materials are included to increase student interaction and emphasize JA's experiential approach to learning. The volunteer is responsible for leading the activities, while the classroom teacher is responsible for classroom management, bathroom breaks, and organizing students into groups when necessary.
