Its programs are taught by classroom volunteers from the business community. Junior Achievement educates and inspires young people to value free enterprise, business and economics to improve the quality of their lives. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of the organization.
Volunteers spend one hour a week in a classroom for six to eight weeks.
After a three hour training session, volunteers receive a plethora of information including teaching manuals, student manuals, exercises, name cards and more. This information costs. The J.A. Committee also receives money from local businesses to sponsor classes.
