Volunteer: JA Finance Park OpportunitiesJunior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. With the generous help of volunteers, JA provides educational programs to students in grades K-12 in the areas of financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship. The curriculum in each of JA’s 23 programs is correlated to the state education standards. JA programs will impact over 50,000 students this school year. JA Finance Park® is a program that teaches youth about personal finance and careers. In the classroom, teachers guide youth through the lessons around key concepts. The program ends with a visit to JA Finance Park, facilitated by JA staff, where youth work with volunteers to create and manage a personal budget, experiencing what it's like to be an adult for a day. This is a great opportunity for individual and corporate volunteers. Volunteer Training is the day of the event at 8:30 AM one hour prior to arrival of participants. Feel free to wear smart casual, corporate swag, and comfortable shoes! Volunteers work with youth as they navigate the simulation and support the JA staff facilitator.

Share your life experiences including your failures. Ask your group members questions. You will have many opportunities. Interaction is the key to a great experience for everyone. Some will participate more than others and that's okay. Be flexible! Thank you for volunteering. We appreciate you! Volunteers are the heartbeat of our organization! We are successful in making an impact with our future leaders and workforce because people like you give the gift of time! Much gratitude goes out to those dedicated to our mission!
