JA DALLAS
Build The Future
A want versus a need. How to balance a checkbook. Don't you wish that someone had taught you those things as you were growing up? Now there is someone. YOU. All we need is your enthusiasm, life experience, and a willingness to teach children about how you took chances and shot for the stars. Junior Achievement of Dallas provides the training, curriculum, and a classroom ready to meet you!

Ways To Volunteer
Traditional In-Classroom
Where: In a school classroom in our community
Time Investment: Typically one hour, for five days
Junior Achievement programs correlate to various national, state, and district educational standards. See how by clicking below!
JA in a Day
Where: In a school classroom in our community
Time Investment: Just one day
This experience uses the same JA programs as the traditional method, but it's condensed into a single day for a high-impact experience! Perfect for the volunteer who can take just a day away from work.
JA Career Speakers Series
Where: At your Partner School or Virtually
Time Investment: 2 to 4 hours
Business professionals volunteer to speak with middle and/or high school students about their career path and education background.
JA Finance Park® or JA BizTown®
Where: In a JA facility that is a simulated city
Time Investment: Typically 6 hours
You'll be in an actual simulated city! You'll help guide students through their assigned family scenario where they will visit many different businesses. They must purchase items to meet the needs of their family, such as insurance, clothing, transportation, housing, groceries, and childcare—without spending more than they earn.

How It Works
1. Two PATHS To Volunteer
JA partners with organizations that provide monetary support to help deliver JA programs and to develop other partnership efforts. These organizations also provide their employee base to be volunteers in the classroom to deliver JA programming.
— OR —
Individuals in our community can reach out directly to us to set-up a time to volunteer in the classroom.
2. Choose Your Schedule
Whichever way you get to JA, your JA Program Manager will coordinate schedules with you and a classroom teacher. They will also provide you with a short but effective training session and will make sure you are completely ready for your amazing experience!
3. During the Visit
Your commitment could vary from a single school day to a weekly visit of one hour each for five to 10 weeks. It all depends on the grade level of the program you choose. You can choose your classroom based on a number of factors. We're flexible!
4. Congratulations!
Students love the hands-on learning opportunities that JA programs provide. The JA volunteer is the critical component in the success of JA programs, and sharing their professional or personal experiences that align with JA program content helps students see how JA can help them achieve their dreams!
