Small children like to do things by themselves. But as children grow, they discover that our society--our economy--depends on people working together. And it all starts with the people with whom we live. JA volunteers use a combination of pictures, stickers, and flashcards to engage students in activities about needs and wants, jobs, tools and skills, and interdependence.  Our Families discusses the role of families in the local economy.

Each Our Families program kit comes with an informative volunteer handbook with colorful graphics and posters like the one seen here.  For more information about this program, read the Program Summary. See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.

Volunteers have helped us put together a few tips for this program.   Click on here for Our Families Program Tips.
