Junior Achievement teaches kids the right way to be successful in today’s society. They understand business. They value ethics. Get involved TODAY and let their success be your inspiration.

We are passionate people inspiring kids to learn the economics of life. To make this happen, we enable caring adults (the volunteer) to share their experience with students to show them what it takes to be successful.

As a volunteer, you bring the message of opportunity and economic understanding to classrooms. No matter what your profession, YOU make the impact on student's lives that will last a lifetime. The dynamic interaction between the volunteer and the students promotes active learning and brings theory to life. Our business and economics programs, kindergarten through twelfth grade, offer a unique approach which integrates program materials, trainings, and support.

Volunteers serve as role models to help young people better understand economic concepts in order to become successful in the workplace and in life.

As a result of teaching in the classroom, volunteers found they:

• Gain a deeper understanding about their company’s operations
  while preparing for their activities.
• Become more powerful or compelling presenters.
• Organize thoughts in a flash when speaking off the cuff.
• Learn how to motivate and connect with an audience.
• Learn to share ideas in a meaningful way.
