We are always looking for new volunteers who would like to go into El Paso area schools to teach our JA programs which educate the students in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness.

What is JA in a Day?

JA in a Day is a high impact way to deliver JA's lessons for a particular grade level all on the same day. Some schools choose to have every grade receive JA programming on the same day. "JA in a Day" is a unique opportunity as it offers volunteers a great opportunity to get involved with Junior Achievement without juggling schedule conflicts or long-term commitments.

What Do Volunteers Do?

The volunteers participate in a training session (on-site at your location or at our office) prior to the event where they will obtain their classroom materials and teacher assignments. On the day of the event, volunteers conduct the lessons in the assigned classrooms.

What JA provides:

We provide all the material, lesson plans, and training you will need in order to have a successful visit. We work with grades K-12 and this opportunity will have the volunteer enter the class room for either one full school day or visit the classroom 4-5 times for approximately 45 minutes. If you are interested please contact us.
