HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Every year, 2,100 successful adult role
models participate in structured interactions,
lessons, games and activities with over
24,000+ local students in kindergarten
through 12th grade. Every Junior
Achievement experience is designed to
connect kids to their future and make
education relevant by showing young people
how to become successful adults. Junior
Achievement volunteers show kids how to:
earn and manage money, launch business start-ups
and explore careers that match their interests.
GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Individuals can support one student through a JA Learning Experience for $65.
Small businesses and corporations can feature their organization as a local
Employer and Responsible Corporate Citizen through annual Brand Partnerships
ranging from $250 - $25,000. Statewide Strategic Partnerships also available.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are the heart of every Junior Achievement experience for young
people. Business, community and parent volunteers bring their real-life
experience to Junior Achievement’s easy-to-deliver lessons, world-class
simulations and live workplace interactions. You can choose to work with
students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
