The way many of us work has changed over the past few years, but what hasn’t changed is young people’s need for positive mentors and role models. That’s why we at Junior Achievement are asking you to consider volunteering for JA this school year!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Whether you are working in an office, hybrid, or from home, we at JA will work with you to find the best way to engage with students in our community. Working remotely doesn’t mean you have to be remote from the things that matter!
Our research shows that kids who have JA go on to have a greater belief in self and sense of purpose. As adults, they report higher levels of career satisfaction, confidence in managing money, and willingness to start and run a business. Simply said, JA works!
By being a JA volunteer and sharing your personal and professional experiences and skills with students from your community, you help them make the connection between what they learn in school and life outside the classroom!
Volunteering for JA isn’t difficult, but it does take commitment. As we all know, most meaningful things do.
If you are interested in volunteering or in more information, let us know! We are ready to get started!

Mission Statement
Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Junior Achievement programs help to prepare young people for the real world by using experiential, hands-on learning.
Description
Our programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities. Junior Achievement matches volunteer or volunteer groups with programs and schools that fit their interests. Experiences include one-day opportunities or weekly experiences for individuals (typically 7 visits). In all cases, volunteers are paired with a teacher and classroom and will deliver scripted, age-appropriate workshops to involve students in their own learning. Volunteers are provided with training and all workshop materials. 85% of First-Time JA Volunteers would volunteer again and 99% of Junior Achievement volunteers would recommend JA to a colleague or friend!
Our programs impact more than 26,000 students in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties. Get involved today to help students in Southeastern Pennsylvania own their economic success!
