Junior Achievement of South Central PA is collaborating with the Lebanon City schools to provide JA to all students. We will be hosting JA in a Day for all 2nd-4th graders.
• What is "JA in a Day" ?
A high impact way to deliver Junior Achievement programs for a particular grade level all in the same day. Some schools choose to have every grade receive JA programming on the same day. “JA in a Day” is a unique opportunity as it offers volunteers a great opportunity to get involved with Junior Achievement without juggling schedule conflicts or long-term commitments.
• What do volunteers do?
The volunteers will be provided instructions to go through our online orientation prior to the event. They will obtain the necessary classroom guides and teacher assignments. On the day of the event, volunteers will receive all necessary program materials to conduct the sessions in the assigned classrooms. Volunteers will lead all five sessions/activities throughout the day to one classroom of students. The sessions involve financial literacy, careers and entrepreneurship.
• What is the role of the teacher?
During the event, teachers are present in the classroom at all times to collaborate with the volunteers, help
maintain discipline and answer any of the volunteer's questions.
• What is JA staff’s role?
JA provides all materials, session plans, training, and ongoing support. A JA staff member will be on-site for the day.
• How much of a time commitment?
Usually 5.5 to 6 hours. Volunteers arrive at the school around 8:30-9:00 a.m. and begin lessons. Typically, volunteers are finished by 2:00-2:30.... More >><< Less
