 JA Volunters Needed throughout Beaufort County
 
JA of Coastal SC has been invited by the Beaufort County School district into eleven elementary schools during November 14-18. Volunteers from the local business community will use the JA Our City and JA Our Nation programs to empower students with knowledge in financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work readiness.

The activities are age-appropriate and hands-on that engage students' different learning styles all while correlating with SC Standards on Education.
Over 1,700 students will be positively impacted by this project. To review the lessons from the programs, visit JA Our City and JA Our Nation.

JA Programs Need Your Support!


Please donate to help make our programs happen

 

We've already gotten a tremendous amount of program requests from teachers all over the Coastal South Carolina area, and we're excited about all the potential Junior Achievement has this school year to teach as many kids as possible the importance of financial literacy and free enterprise. 

However, we can't make these programs happen without volunteers and donor support. There are many levels you can give to support our efforts.   $20 sponsors 1 JA student,   $500 sponsors 1 JA classroom,  $2,500 sponsors a whole grade, and  $10,000 sponsors a whole school.
