BizTown Volunteer Training Resources
As a BizTown volunteer, you will serve as a "business consultant", leading staff meetings, helping the students to read and understand their job directions, and reminding the students to stay on task and focus on their goals. Preparing our children to be productive and effective consumers, workers and citizens in our community is at the core of Junior Achievement's mission.
