Junior Achievement’s purpose is to educate and inspire young people to value free enterprise, business and economics. This is accomplished through classroom volunteers. Volunteers serving as role models and mentors teach Junior Achievement’s sequential kindergarten through twelth-grade programs. Volunteers facilitate hands-on activities to help students better understand economic and business concepts, recognize their talents and abilities and prepare them for lifelong learning and achievement. JA volunteers educate, inspire and encourage young people to become tomorrow’s community leaders. Programs are delivered at no cost to students or schools. Junior Achievement has volunteer opportunities in business and community administration, community projects, and education programs.
