Junior Achievement’s JA BizTown® is a hands-on, interactive program that brings economics and career education to life for students in an immersive, simulated city. Volunteers play a crucial role in guiding students as they run businesses, manage finances, and make real-world decisions, helping them connect classroom learning with real-life experiences. As a volunteer, you’ll mentor students in leadership, teamwork, and financial literacy while fostering their confidence and critical thinking. It's a fun and rewarding way to inspire future leaders and entrepreneurs. Join us in empowering young minds to thrive in today’s economy!

JA In A Day:  The JA In A Day program is a format consisting of five to six 45-minute classroom lessons. The JA In A Day Program enables volunteers to present the curriculum in one, five-hour, day.  Our trained community volunteers prepare students from kindergarten through 12th grade for the real world by sharing their workforce experience with your students, all while teaching sound economic principles.

Why Volunteer with JAGNO?

IMG_4998.JPG

Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans is making a positive impact on students throughout Southeastern Louisiana. Through age appropriate curriculum, students are engaged with hands-on experiences to help them understand the economics of life. Our volunteers provide real-life experience and knowledge to the students that we work with from Kindergarten through high school.

Volunteers are typically business professionals, college students, community members, or parents who want to play an active part in participating in the education of students around them.  We are continually striving to work with a pool of volunteers to reflect the diversity of the communities and students that we serve throughout the Greater New Orleans area and Southeastern Louisiana.

Volunteering with JA is not only fun, but great professional development - our volunteers practice public speaking, training, management, problem solving, and leadership during their volunteering commitment.  Many volunteers are able to count their JA experience for volunteer credit hours with their employer.  JA volunteers find the experience to be powerful, fun, and rewarding – and many come back and teach with us year after year!  

JAGNO offers volunteer options that can fit your schedule and needs,. Fill out the volunteer information form here to get more information about program opportunities that work for you.
