K-12 Learning Experiences
Elementary
Young kids are the best. If you have a child in elementary school and want to share your experiences while presenting multimedia financial education and enjoy working with younger kids, contact JA of Southeastern Pennsylvania to learn more about volunteering with JA!
Middle School
Middle School students are the best. Volunteering with kids can be so much fun but it helps when those students are more engaged and curious about the future and the kind of jobs that exist. If you enjoy working with kids, contact JA of Southeastern Pennsylvania to learn more about volunteering with JA.
High School
Young adults are the best. If you enjoy working with kids that are ready to tackle the world but are looking for the paths to be opened up to them and are fascinated by innovation and entrepreneurship, contact JA of Southeastern Pennsylvania to learn about volunteering with JA.
