Junior Achievement is a worldwide nonprofit
organization that presents important life
skills through hands-on-economic education
lessons.
Caring adults (like you!) are recruited for 5
hours of time and are placed with
students in the classroom during the school
day to inspire young people to value our free
enterprise system and to improve their quality
of life
-
You choose
the grade level of students K-12!
-
30-40 minutes
per session for 5-8 visits to the classroom!
-
Share your
life experiences with kids!
-
Make a
difference!
Getting
Involved
As a
classroom volunteer, you will discover the
benefits of having a direct impact on local
education and the fun of sharing your experience
with a classroom full of students.
-
How much time will it take?
-
Very
little! In fact, it only takes about one
hour each week to give students a foundation
related to the world of work that they can
carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Your preparation time is also minimal,
usually less than one hour per week. Just
one hour a week in a classroom can make a
lifetime of difference for a student.
-
Do
I have to know how to teach?
-
No, you don't!
We give you
updated, step-by-step materials, activities,
and discussions developed by professionals.
We take you through each activity and help
you make each lesson exciting.

-
Exactly what will I be doing?
-
You
will help young students understand the
world around them, from what it takes to be
a good family member to being a good citizen
in the community. 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, from the activities
to the tools for the students, are provided
for you. You will also receive support from
local Junior Achievement staff members.
