The One Thing! Volunteer Campaign

At Junior Achievement, we teach the "one thing" that most adults wish they were taught in their traditional education: practical life skills. Our programs serve students from kindergarten through young adulthood. They focus on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship, providing students with the knowledge and confidence our youth need to thrive in the global economy.  

As a volunteer, you don’t just share your time—you spark possibility. By passing on critical life skills, you shape young lives and guide them toward lasting success. 

Youth Benefits 

• Hands-on learning: Equip students with valuable life skills through engaging activities. 

• Make a lasting impact: Boost confidence and provide tools for a lifetime of success. 

• Be part of change: 90% of JA alumni say JA helped them believe in their ability to achieve their goals. 

• Connect with diverse stories: Inspire and make a difference across various communities. 

Organization Benefits  

• Turnkey program: Easy to implement with full support from Junior Achievement. 

• Employee growth: Strengthen teams, foster connections, and enhance professional development. 

• Boost visibility: Enhance community presence and include in your Community Reinvestment Act requirements. 

Volunteer Experience 

• Flexible options: One-day, virtual, or ongoing opportunities to fit your schedule. 

• Full support: Training, guides, and a dedicated JA Program Manager to help you succeed. 

• Grow your skills: Develop time management, presentation skills, and community connections. 

Whether you’re volunteering individually, organizing volunteer efforts, or recommending others in your network, now is the perfect time to take the leap and join Junior Achievement as a volunteer!
