Our
programs are funded by businesses and individuals, and are designed
to be taught in the classroom by business, parent, and community
volunteers. Classroom volunteers make economic concepts relevant,
fuel the entrepreneurial spirit, and challenge the students to excel.
JA's unique delivery system provides the training, materials, and
support necessary to ensure a positive experience. Our materials
include curriculum for elementary, middle and high school students. |
Program Formats
JA
Day
A JA Day event takes place at a local elementary or middle school
giving volunteers the opportunity to teach Junior Achievement's
(JA) financial literacy and workforce readiness curriculum in a
condensed time frame. JA’s activity-based programs are taught
over the course of one half school day from
8:30 am - 1:30 pm by teams of two or more.
This
program is a powerful team-building experience as well as a memorable
community service project. The benefit
for the school is a free program that meets educational standards,
with minimal time taken from the classroom.
