Getting Ready to Volunteer in 3 Easy Steps

JA BizTown Volunteer Training Resources & Parking Instructions

As a JA 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 students to be productive and effective consumers, workers, and citizens in our community is at the core of Junior Achievement's mission.
