Needs From: University of Wisconsin-La Crosse

Volunteer: JA Elementary Classroom Volunteers

WHAT? Volunteer in an elementary classroom in the Coulee Region.  We currently run elementary JA programming in La Crosse, Onalaska, Holmen, West Salem, La Crescent, Bangor and Tomah. Elementary programs consist of five 45-minute lessons. 

HOW DOES IT WORK? We take care of everything!  We provide a virtual volunteer training and then we match you with a teacher in the Coulee Region (you can indicate a preference for grade, area or school) and allow you to work with them to determine a schedule that works well for both.  Volunteers are provided with well-appointed kits and/or digital resources that are used to teach each lesson. The best part is our lessons are connected to each grade levels curriculum!  

WHY VOLUNTEER FOR JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT (JA)? Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed. By volunteering for Junior Achievement YOU have the opportunity to be their inspiration! Our volunteers serve as role models by sharing their experience and preparing our youth by teaching our proven lessons that promote financial capability, work and career readiness, and business ownership. Here are a few comments from elementary teachers who were involved in JA this year. 

Thank you for reaching out! We are absolutely loving everything about JA here in our classroom! The timing is perfect as we are also working on an invention fair and it goes right along with EVERYTHING we are teaching! Thank you for providing this opportunity this year!  This was such a great experience for our class! They truly enjoyed our volunteer and the lessons. They were engaged for every lesson. Thank you!!
