My first encounter with Junior Achievement was back at Lowery Elementary School. The JA Program informed children about success in money management at a level compatible with each age group’s abilities. In fifth grade, one of the JA representatives asked us what we wanted to do a decade from now. I remember thinking about goals and created my first one ever, “In ten years, I want to be a teacher.”

Visit your nearest JA Organization to ask for a Volunteer Registration Form. Also request to set an appointment with a volunteer specialist to get more information.
The program offers volunteer services for grades Kindergarten through High School. Decide on which grade level you would like to start off teaching.
One of the first questions they will ask you is, “Which school district are you interested in volunteering at?” Do some research ahead of time to see what school districts are in your surrounding area, and choose at least two locations that you’d like to confirm with during the interview.
The Operations Manager should contact you shortly after you submit your application. If more than two days have passed, contact the Junior Achievement’s Office to follow-up on any delays.
2.) The JA Volunteer Program
Operations Management will update you via the e-mail address you provided on you form. He/She will provide the information needed for an upcoming presentation:
-School name and location (physical address, phone number, etc.)
-Grade-level and training required prior to presenting
-Volunteer date and contact information for your area
-Presentation length and materials provided by the program
If you are available on that date, respond promptly and check your e-mail for confirmation.
The materials packet will arrive by UPS mail to the address you provided on your application form. If the packet has not arrived within 3 to 5 days, contact your JA Office immediately.
