junior achievement of South Florida

At JA World Huizenga Center, two “mini-city” experiential programs, JA BizTown and JA Finance Park, significantly transform how every 5th and 8th grade student in Broward County Public Schools is taught to view the world of work, free enterprise, and his or her possibilities for success. Students buzz with the excitement and challenges that adults face every day in the real world. They put their classroom instruction to work as they practice decision-making and learn about leadership and teamwork. Volunteers are needed to help guide, assist, and facilitate students in a specific storefront during their on-site simulation in JA BizTown or JA Finance Park. The time commitment is approximately 5 hours and vary per school schedule, but generally start between 8:00am and 9:00am. The first 45-minutes of the day will include all the training you need to help the students successfully navigate the “real” world.
