Junior Achievement in search of volunteers for local schools

Junior Achievement, an organization committed to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in today’s economy, is looking for volunteers to work with local students.

JA makes volunteering easy by providing fun, engaging curriculum that helps to teach the importance of financial responsibility, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Volunteers share their own life lessons to bring relevancy to the activities. 

Volunteers are needed at Soda Creek Elementary School and Strawberry Park School Elementary this spring for a short-term commitment of five sessions. Contact Sally Messinger at smessinger@jacolorado.org for more information.
