Junior Achievement Seeks Classroom Volunteers
Junior Achievement has a great need for classroom volunteers this fall and spring. This school year, classroom volunteers will have the opportunity to engage with 3rd and 4th grade students to help inspire them for their future. To learn more about volunteering or to sign up for a specific school or class, visit JA’s website at https://engage.ja.org/?site=easternshore or email shelby.lewis@ja.org. Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed. The inspiration piece comes from community volunteers who not only deliver our lessons but share their experiences. In the process, these volunteers serve as roles helping to positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance of education, as well as critical life skills.
