Materials Available for Teachers/Students
Junior Achievement programs are taught by volunteers from the community. Junior Achievement provides full training and support for all volunteer consultants. In addition, JA provides detailed lesson plans and all materials needed to teach the class. Classroom teachers are also provided with supplemental activities that can be completed outside of the volunteer’s regular lessons to enrich and reinforce the content of the program. Volunteers generally visit the classroom once weekly (30-45 minute periods) for 5-12 week depending on the program. However, flexible scheduling is offered to accommodate your needs.
