JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT Junior Achievement is coming up very soon and we would love to have you join us. This volunteer opportunity is EXTREMELY FLEXIBLE as far as when you can volunteer, you just work with the teacher to find what fits your schedule.
Junior Achievement is an economic education program based on our social studies curriculum. This great program provides organizational, personal and student benefits as well as success skills, job skills, credit skills and life skills in general. The kids absolutely LOVE Junior Achievement and it’s fair to say our volunteers LOVE teaching it!
Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas https://southeasttexas.ja.org
Volunteers will go into the classroom and teach JA courses according to each grade level. A teacher will be in the classroom during each presentation and will assist the volunteer. All volunteers will work closely with the teacher to determine which days you will be presenting. A commitment of 30 minutes’ lessons for 5 lessons is needed. The days and times are typically very flexible.
Junior Achievement will be offered in the Spring semester, shortly following our return from Spring Break. Volunteers just need to attend a short training session to participate. In this training volunteers will learn about classroom conduct and kit materials. If you haven’t been trained no worries, there’s plenty of time to do so. Our JA program manager, Cathya Rivera, has agreed to hold training sessions at school this year in the cafeteria. These are the tentative dates:
Monday, January 13, 2020 9:00 am - 10:15 am
Wednesday, February 5, 2020 9:00 am - 10:15 am
Monday, March 2, 2020 9:00 - 10:15am
Some good news .... volunteers are only required to attend a one-time training session. Once trained you will not need to be retrained to continue teaching JA.
Please keep in mind Junior Achievement generates terrific volunteer interest. It is a first come first serve volunteer opportunity. Generally, one volunteer will teach for a home room class, there has been occasion however when volunteers share duties (we can discuss as needed). With that said please reach out to us with your interest. Please indicate which home room (HR) you’d like to volunteer for and if you’ve been trained or when you will be trained.
We thank you in advance for considering this opportunity!
Your Junior Achievement Co-Chairs,
