Why volunteer
for Junior Achievement?
At Junior Achievement, we believe that
communities are built when people volunteer.
That is why our volunteers are such an integral
part of everything we do; without them,
we would not exist. When you volunteer for
JA , you're not just a volunteer; you are
a valued and trusted partner in the future
of the organization.
The experience
Volunteering with JA is a fun, flexible
and rewarding way to directly impact the
lives of local students. JA programs are
easy to teach, require a modest time investment,
and provide immediate feedback and personal
satisfaction.
JA provides volunteers with everything
they need to be successful in the classroom,
including
- Comprehensive classroom materials,
step-by-step lesson plans and training.
- Choice of grade and a school location
close to home or work.
- Connection to an individual teacher
to coordinate times during the school
day for 5-12 lessons, each lasting approximately
45 minutes.
The benefits
As a JA volunteer, you
will:
- Experience those "magic moments,"
when you see a child understand something
new.
- Sharpen your presentation and coaching
skills.
- Connect with your community and learn
about the challenges and successes local
schools face.
- Meet new people and build friendships
that last a lifetime.
- Challenge yourself to try something
new.
Please consider becoming a JA volunteer
today. You can reach us at 860-525-4510

you'll make is inspiring!
