On Tuesday February 25 th, nearly 500 high school students from around the state will participate in the award-winning JA You’re Hired Event, at the Phoenix Convention Center South Building. Prior to attending the event, these students will have participated in volunteer-led lessons focusing on work-readiness skills like interviewing, networking, public speaking, and dressing for success.
Our logistical volunteers will assist in setup, registration, monitoring students sessions, possible judging, and clean up.
Each one of our volunteers are assigned to tasks that make the event run smoothly and ensure a VIP experience for our students and corporate sponsors.

Mission Statement
Junior Achievement: Empowering young people to own their economic success.
Description
Did you know that the majority of Arizona CEOs believe employees lack critical skills that are needed to succeed in the workplace? More than half of adults under 30 do not keep a personal budget, their average debt is over $45,000, and 12% of them don’t even have a job.
It’s our responsibility to empower future generations - to equip them with the skills and knowledge to be successful and pursue their dreams. These are our kids, grandchildren, our future colleagues, and community leaders. The success of our economy depends on their preparedness.
With the support of thousands of education, business, and volunteer partners, we are giving kids the tools to succeed. Our volunteer mentors from the community teach students about the importance of money management, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurial thinking. Arming today’s youth with this critical education will result in less financial instability and debt, a better-trained workforce, a more robust economy, and healthier families.
