Business volunteers meet face to face with students in the classroom to teach the value of obtaining an education, how business works, and what it takes to be successful. These volunteers make economic concepts relevant, fuel the entrepreneurial spirit and challenge students to excel. Junior Achievement has reached over 3,000,000 kids in the United States alone through elementary, middle grades and high school programs. Volunteer role models go into the classroom to stimulate the hearts and minds of kids to learn the economics of life. They bring real-life experiences into the classroom, building a foundation for personal growth, development and achievement.
Volunteers encourage students to discover and fulfill their own potential.
During the 2000-01 school year over 2,000 volunteers will teach JA Programs to over 64,000 Dallas area students.
