Online Training - JA-in-a-Day Program

If you are participating in a JA-in-a-Day program with your company, it is highly recommended that you attend your scheduled, in-person training session, facilitated by a member of the JA staff. However, we understand that this may not always be possible. For this reason, we have developed two new JA-in-a-Day training videos - one for elementary school  programs, and one for middle school programs.

Each professionally produced video is approximately 45 minutes in length, and covers pertinent information, including:

- introduction from 9News' Gregg Moss (JA board member)
- JA-in-a-Day introduction and logistics
- JA kit demonstration
- overview of additional programs
- frequently asked questions
- volunteer testimonial

We also have several, brief online videos that might also help you prepare for your JA experience.
