Junior Achievement Volunteer Training
We Make it as Easy as Possible!
Your commitment could vary from a single school day to a weekly visit of one hour each for five to 10 weeks. It all depends on the grade level of the program you choose. You can choose your classroom based on a number of factors. We're flexible!
Next, you'll be contacted by your local JA office to set up a training and receive your classroom materials. Or simply find out which JA office is nearest you and contact them directly.
