Junior Achievement Recruits Volunteers for Second Semester

-
Many Pekin area students will benefit from Junior Achievement (JA) this semester and they need you to serve as their mentor. JA volunteers come from all walks of life, sharing a message of hope and opportunity with every young person they reach.  JA serves students in kindergarten through high school, focusing on entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and work readiness in an age-appropriate way.  Getting started is easy.  All you need is your enthusiasm, life experience, and a willingness to teach children about how you took chances and shot for the stars.  Junior Achievement provides the training, curriculum, and a classroom ready to meet you.  For more information contact Angie Houck at angie.houck@ja.org or 309-682-1800.
