Volunteer in your local schools with Junior Achievement Southern Alberta

Description

Junior Achievement (JA) Southern Alberta is a non-profit organization that offers free programming in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness to students in grades kindergarten-12. Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and share one common goal: to educate students and inspire them to achieve their highest potential. Our volunteers come from the business community, either individually or through their organizations and generously donate their time to help prepare Canadian youth for the future.

In addition to positively impacting and inspiring young people, volunteering with JA is a professional development opportunity where your leadership, mentorship and public speaking skills are utilized. JA provides the program materials, training and support to make your experience fun, meaningful and easy to deliver. We thank you in advance for your consideration and look forward to having you involved this year!
