Our volunteers are able to bring the real world of work to students by facilitating our interactive learning experiences. Junior Achievement programs are brought to life with your investment of time and expertise, are fun to deliver, and provide immediate feedback and satisfaction. With school and community support and corporate endorsement, it’s easy to get involved and make a big difference. Show students what it takes to accomplish their goals!
Description
Junior Achievement’s Economics for Success (EFS) is an interactive program designed to encourage students to consider how they can prepare to enter the world of work. This preparation involves identifying personal interests, skills, strengths, and passions; mapping them to career clusters; learning to budget; interviewing skills and developing strategies to achieve educational and career goals. An in-class volunteer visits the classroom to deliver one hour of programming.
