Junior Achievement's goal is to prepare young people by teaching financial literacy giving them the tools to be successful in life.
We welcome everyone to volunteer with us, you have to complete the volunteer training before the day of service.
We train all volunteers before your scheduled volunteer date!
As a volunteer, you will be teaching 5 activity-based lessons in one day to the same class. We provide breakfast and lunch to all volunteers that spend the day with us.
All lessons and activities are provided with step-by-step instructions.
Junior Achievement’s programs bring volunteers from the community to inspire young people to dream big and reach their potential. Classroom volunteers will teach 5 activity-based 30-45 minute lessons on how to be smart with their money, how to think like entrepreneurs, and how to get ready for the workforce.
Junior Achievement will teach you how to prepare for your lessons along with class management to ensure a positive classroom experience.
