JA BizTown Volunteer Tutorial:

1. How you can help

Volunteers are the heart of Junior Achievement's learning-by-doing approach. On the day of a school visit, JA BizTown is a very busy community with up to over 100 students bustling about in over 15 mock businesses. While students are well prepared for their day in JA BizTown through a comprehensive in-class curriculum, volunteer support in the businesses is still critical to a smooth day.

Each day JA BizTown welcomes 20-25 enthusiastic parent or business volunteers to help run this amazing experience. Volunteers attend a one-hour training session at the facility prior to the school visit. They get a tour of JA BizTown and are shown how the whole process works. Volunteers are trained to guide students through the various activities and decisions they will face when they arrive at JA BizTown. We welcome PTA parent volunteers to attend the day of their own child's visit, and strongly encourage business community participation.
