At Junior Achievement we believe in "possible." Each day, we work to help young people discover what's possible in their lives. We do this by helping them connect what they learn in school with life outside the classroom. We let them know it's possible to invest in their future, to gain a better understanding of how the world works, and to pursue their dreams. We show them that it's possible for tomorrow to be a better day.
Junior Achievement's proven lessons in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship are shown to positively impact the lives of young people. These lessons align with national and state educational standards and are delivered to millions of students across the country with the help of our education partners and volunteers from the local community.
Volunteering with JA is an excellent opportunity for students who enjoy teaching or may want to pursue teaching careers. Even at 12 or 13 years old, you can be the teacher. Lessons focus on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness.
You receive all materials, kits, and training for free. You choose the setting and age group with which you are most comfortable teaching.
