Junior Achievement seeks classroom
volunteers

[March 13, 2017]
Each
school year, JA of Central Illinois mobilizes hundreds of dedicated,
well-trained volunteers, ranging from CEOs to college students,
young professionals to retirees. These volunteers serve as
invaluable role models, helping students understand the important
role that education plays in their future success. Students earn
valuable education in work readiness, financial literacy, and
entrepreneurship.
|
What does it take? After completing a training session and
getting acquainted with the JA curriculum, volunteers commit to
spending between 5 and 7 hours in a classroom, depending on the
grade level. That's right-only 5-7 hours! Generally consisting of
weekly visits, teachers and volunteers plan the schedule that works
best. You pick the grade level you'd like to teach, you pick the
school you'd like to visit, you pick the schedule. It's that easy!
We have an immediate need for volunteers in Bartonville,
Bloomington-Normal, Chillicothe, Dunlap, Farmington,
Lincoln, Pekin, Peoria, Peoria
Heights, and Roanoke.

intimidating, but time after time volunteers report back that they
were shocked by just how much fun they had! To get started, fill out
the JA volunteer form at

a program expert with volunteer opportunities.
