Volunteers come from all walks of life. 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! All we need is your enthusiasm, life experience, and a willingness to teach children. Junior Achievement provides the training, curriculum, and a classroom ready to meet you. For information on volunteer opportunities, Contact JA of New Mexico.	Fred Hampton, JA of New Mexico volunteer, explains marketing concepts to a fifth-grade class at Corrales Elementary School.
