- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Make an impact and mentor a group of high school students as they launch their own business! As a volunteer with Junior Achievement of Southern California, you will go to your assigned high school for one hour each week and coach students through the creation, marketing, production and sale of a product or service. We provide the hands-on curriculum and you bring the real-world experience!
We are looking for one volunteer to commit to volunteering for 15 weeks or a small group (3-5) volunteers to commit to taking turns for 15 weeks.
This volunteer opportunity is perfect for a professional who understands the process of turning an idea into a reality and is passionate about students achieving the same! At the end of the in-class coaching students will have the chance to compete in our regional annual Junior Achievement Student Entrepreneurship Competition where they will present their business pitch to professional judges and showcase their product or service for a chance to compete on a national level.
Our students at Pasadena High School are enthusiastic young entrepreneurs waiting for you!
