Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement is an international non profit education organization that partners communityand education to increase knowledge of our free enterprise system and teach kids how business works.
JA has been in existence since 1919 reaching over 4 million students in the US and over 100 countries worldwide. Working in partnership with the classroom teacher, volunteers with varied backgrounds from business and community, visit the classroom presenting five economic related lessons and activities.
JA volunteers are key to the program,also providing valuable career information by sharing their own work experiences, and character education exemplifying volunteerism. JA emphasizes the importance and value of education and is an excellent bridge connecting education to the world of work.
A brief training session and a classroom kit, including all necessary materials, are available at no charge to the volunteer. (The classroom teacher also receives a JA Guidebook.)Training & Kit Pick-up Location:
Grand Forks Educational Center - 2400 47th Ave. S. - Grand Forks, ND
(Grade level dates & times yet to be determined)
Junior Achievement's Elementary School Program demonstrates how economics impacts people's lives as workers, consumers, and citizens. Students will grasp and build on these important concepts as they progress in school, enhancing their understanding of the world around them and how this awareness can positively affect their future. In the Grand Forks Public Schools, Junior Achievement is delivered to all Grade 4 students and available for all students in Grades K-5 by teacher's request. The schools of the Grand Forks Consortium* are also invited to participate. *(Central Valley, Emerado, Larimore, Manvel, Northwood, and Thompson)Community volunteers are a key component of the Junior Achievement program providing valuable enhancement to the classroom experience.
