What is a JA Program?

Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to manage money, how to effectively enter the workforce and thrive, and how to launch an entrepreneurial endeavor.

Programs are offered for all students from kindergarten through high school.

 

JA PROVIDES WHAT YOU NEED FOR SUCCESS!

Junior Achievement provides volunteers with training that is simple and relatable; programs that are engaging and fun; and a classroom full of eager youth ready to learn from you!

As a Junior Achievement volunteer, you will inspire K-12 grade students to achieve a more fulfilling career and life by contributing your professional insights and personal experiences to the programs you teach.

VOLUNTEER WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT

Too many young people leave school without critical life skills in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship to reach their potential in life.

Let’s show youth what’s possible together! Inspire and prepare young people to succeed by contributing your professional insights and personal experiences to the JA programs you teach.

Flexible volunteer opportunities in person, virtual, and hybrid.

  • In-classroom Learning Experiences -- You are paired with a classroom teacher. This delivery method is an effective, popular way to show students a connection between the skills they are learning in school and life outside the classroom.
  • Virtual Learning Experiences -- Uses the same JA programs as the in-classroom method, but it's delivered virtually for a broader geographical audience and to support distance learning.
  • JA Career Speaker -- Tell your “job story” and share career and work experience with students. In-person, virtual, and recorded video opportunities.
  • JA in a Day -- The same JA programs as the in-classroom method, but it's condensed into a single day for a high-impact experience.
  • JA Job Shadow -- Provides students with a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a variety of exciting, impactful, and meaningful careers at your workplace. 
  • JA Titan Business Challenge -- A half-day business-simulation strategy tournament that engages high school students with the nuances of running a global business, and where they can win a scholarship.
