Why Volunteer?

By sharing personal and professional experiences with students, JA volunteers help make the connection between what students are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life.

JA’s curriculum provides everything you need to make volunteering interactive and engaging for students.

You can make a difference in the lives of young people. Your JA experience will leave you feeling proud, energized, and hopeful about a better future for our young people.
