K-12th Grade ja Programs

Junior Achievement Programs complement and enhance the school's curriculum by providing a realistic and relevant view of the world beyond school.  The programs provide financial literacy via engaging  activities that educate students about business, economics to help prepare them for fulfilling careers.

Classroom%20photoJA Programs are easily integrated into the school's curriculum and help teachers meet the California State Standards. Whether they are building models, "manufacturing" donuts, starting a business, exploring careers, interviewing for jobs or competing with kids from around the world, JA connects with kids and reinforces that what they are learning in school is important.

"Having a community volunteer interact with the students regarding
real world applications is wonderful!" - a Sacramento Teacher
Classroom photoJA enlists community volunteers to facilitate predesigned program activities. The volunteers challenge students to excel in school and make the activities come alive by sharing their personal experiences. Providing these positive adult role models, who illustrate ways to build self-confidence, develop skills and find avenues of success in our free enterprise system is a hallmark of Junior Achievement.

 

Junior Achievement classroom volunteer opportunities:

Greetings,

I am recruiting Junior Achievement volunteers to conduct financial literacy programs in classes.  At the elementary school grade level, a volunteer can either choose to deliver a Done in the Day program where 5-6 lessons are conducted in one day; or the traditional program, where a volunteer typically conducts one lesson per week over the course of several weeks (5 wks for grades K-5 and 6 wks for grade 6).  Each lesson ranges between 30-45 min, depending upon the students’ grade level.  Junior and High school volunteers will present programs that typically require 7-8 visits in the classroom; with each visit averaging 45-50 min. The volunteer and teacher determine the dates and times of the JA program visits.  Each volunteer will receive a kit containing user friendly instructor guides and student materials needed to facilitate the sessions.  In addition, every new JA volunteer will receive a brief ~35 minute orientation by the JA Staff to help prepare the volunteer before going into the classroom.

Volunteer needs at the following schools:

Done in the Days scheduled at:

Michael J. Castori Elem. (No. Highlands) – May 11th                       ~2 classes                             

Traditional program delivery (weekly visits semester--volunteer negotiates visit schedule w\teacher): 

Please contact me if you, or your teams, are interested in one of these volunteer assignments. 

Thank you for your support. ☺
