Why Volunteer?

JA Dallas

Why Volunteer?

YOU can help empower the next generation! As the breadth of our communities’ problems seems to grow every day, we, at Junior Achievement of Dallas, believe there is a way to get to the root. With JA’s mission to inspire and prepare young people for success in today’s global economy, we work to foster students’ belief in themselves and a deep sense of purpose to overcome life’s challenges. JA changes the “I can’t” to “I can” through a scientifically proven approach. JA curriculum teaches students how money, careers, and business ownership work. With the help of volunteers like YOU, it is proven that role models teaching JA programs can help create a simple shift in a young person’s mind. JA needs you! Your enthusiasm, life experience, and willingness to teach children about how you took chances and shot for the stars can create a positive attitude and help students dream bigger. Junior Achievement of Dallas provides the training, curriculum, and a classroom ready to meet you!

Junior Achievement of Dallas provides the training, curriculum, and a classroom ready to meet you!
