Junior Achievement has many different opportunities for individuals to volunteer.  Some of those are as follows:  As a classroom volunteer, participation in special events, serve on a committee, help with our phonathon campaign, or serve on the board of directors.

Here's what it takes to be a classroom volunteer: 

         1.    One hour training session at the school.

         2.    One hour per week in the classroom for five, eight, or ten weeks, depending what grade level you choose.

         3.    Forty-five minutes prep time per week.

         4.    Travel time to and from the school.

It is easy to become a JA classroom volunteer.  Volunteers take pride in being role models and embrace the feeling of accomplishment they receive knowing they are making a difference.  JA brings volunteers into the classroom face to face with students to share their business knowledge and show them what it takes to be successful.  JA's unique delivery system provides all the training, materials and support for volunteers to ensure a positive classroom experience.  JA is the successful bridge between education and business.
