There are many ways to get involved with Junior Achievement. As a
classroom volunteer, you'll discover the benefits of having direct impact on
local education and the fun of sharing your experience with students.
How much time will it take?
Very little! In fact, it only takes about one hour a week for 5-10 weeks
depending on grade level. Preparation time is also minimal, usually less than
one hour per week.
Do I have to know how to teach?
No you don't! We give you current, step-by-step materials, activities, and
discussions developed by professionals. We outline each activity and help you
make each lesson exciting.
Exactly what will I be doing?
You will help school age youth understand the world around them. Using
hands on activities relevant to student interests and lifestyles, you will
enrich the curriculum with your own experience. Everything you need to teach
the class is provided for you. You will also receive training and support from
JA staff members.
Company Participation
Your company can get involved too, by participating in the annual
Bowl-A-Thon, Golf Classic, Golf Marathon, Business Hall of Fame or other fund
raising events.
