Join Junior Achievement for elementary "JA Days" this spring!
Our busy spring "JA Day" season is here! Time to finish out the school year strong by empowering our youngest JA students to DREAM BIG and take ownership of their future economic success.
The "JA Day" delivery method is a fun, fast format allowing JA volunteers to deliver one complete elementary program to a class full of local students in a single morning. Exact schedules vary, but each JA Day event typically takes place from 8:00am - 12:00pm.
JA’s grade-specific elementary programs deliver basic concepts in PERSONAL FINANCE and CAREER READINESS through age-appropriate games and activities that emphasize FUN, interactive learning. Explore the JA elementary curriculum here.
If you are a returning volunteer, no additional training is required. Simply confirm your participation by e-mail and we will deliver your program materials directly to you. But we welcome new volunteers as well! Please help us spread the word. We will conduct in-person trainings for all new volunteers as needed. Contact JA Regional Director Taran Barca-Hall at taranbh@janorcal.org.
