Volunteer Now
Sign up today to be a JA classroom volunteer. This school year, 800 classroom volunteers are needed to present JA's hands-on economic education programs to classes in public, private, and parochial schools in the New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana. Volunteers attend a one-hour training session (at JA or their organization) or can train online. Volunteers then present to classrooms five to seven 45-minute JA economics sessions. Programs are age appropriate and are offered to students in grades K-12.
See our Local Programs web page for more information about the JA Curriculum.
If you would like more information about volunteering, email Christopher Sommers at chris@jagno.org.
