Have you ever witnessed the spark that lights up a child's eyes when they've learned something new? At Junior Achievement, we're all about that spark, and our volunteers experience it each teach time they enter the classroom.


You can make a difference in your community!

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.
