Junior Achievement of Southern Massachusetts is seeking volunteers to teach classes in southern Plymouth County, including the Old Rochester Regional School district, during the fall session.

Junior Achievement (JA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.

Volunteers will educate students about free enterprise, financial literacy, workforce readiness and entrepreneurship.

“JA programs fill a very important gap that often exists between what students are learning in school and how it applies to the real world,” said JA President Caroline Paradis. “Volunteers don’t need to have any previous experience in the classroom. They just need to be willing to share their experiences and help open a student’s eyes to a world of new possibilities.”

JA provides new volunteers with training and all program materials needed to teach the course.  Opportunities are available at the elementary, middle and high school levels.

Volunteers will give 45-60 minutes per week for five to seven sessions, depending on the program. For more information, call Corrie Martin at 508-997-6536, ext. 12 or email Corrie.Martin@ja.org.
