Junior Achievement is looking for volunteers to help deliver information about financial literacy and career building to students at Godley Station School on March 5 and 12. Volunteers receive a curriculum prior to volunteering and are paired with a classroom (Grades 3-5) to then teach the curriculum in an engaging and meaningful way. Junior Achievement is looking for volunteers that are comfortable in a classroom setting and can hopefully make the topics of financial literacy and career building relatable to the young students.
Founded nationally in 1919 and locally in 1949, Junior Achievement (JA) is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship, reaching more than 10 million students across the globe. Volunteers presenting JA programs make school relevant and fun, which means students are more likely to be contributing, successful members of their communities. Volunteers share their real-world experiences and present JA materials to help students bridge the gap between what they learn in school and what they can expect in the work world.
