Why volunteer for Junior Achievement?

At Junior Achievement, we believe that communities are built when people volunteer. That is why our volunteers are such an integral part of everything we do; without them, we would not exist. When you volunteer for JA , you're not just a volunteer; you are a valued and trusted partner in the future of the organization.

The experience

Volunteering with JA is a fun, flexible and rewarding way to directly impact the lives of local students. JA programs are easy to teach, require a modest time investment, and provide immediate feedback and personal satisfaction. JA provides volunteers with everything they need to be successful in the classroom, including:  

• Comprehensive classroom materials, step-by-step lesson plans and training.
• Choice of grade and a school location close to home or work.
• Connection to an individual teacher to coordinate times during the school day for 5-12 lessons, each lasting approximately 45 minutes.
  

The benefits

As a JA volunteer, you will: 

• Experience "magic moments," when you see a child understand something new.
• Sharpen your presentation and coaching skills.
• Connect with your community and learn about the challenges and successes local schools face.
• Meet new people and build friendships that last a lifetime.
• Challenge yourself to try something new.
