VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Classroom Volunteer

Too many young people leave school without critical life skills in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship to reach their potential in life, but there’s hope.


JA is working on leveling the playing field, but we can’t do it alone. The spring semester is our busiest time, we need your support.


Be a classroom volunteer! YOU CHOOSE the campus, classroom, days and times that work for you.
