    Description

    Volunteer for a Half-Day to Support Local Students – April 9 (Afternoon)

    Looking for an easy way to give back?

    Join Junior Achievement for a half-day volunteer opportunity supporting local students during our JA Finance Park Pop-Up on April 9 at Bethany Lutheran College (11:30 AM – 2:45 PM).

    During this experience, students step into the role of an adult for the day. They are each assigned a career, salary, credit score, and life scenario, and work through real-life decisions like housing, transportation, food, and other expenses.

    As a volunteer, you’ll be there to guide and encourage students as they move through the simulation and make decisions. You are not expected to teach or have any prior knowledge—a script is provided to help guide conversations, along with a quick training before the event.

    This is a fun, interactive experience where you can support students in a low-pressure environment while helping them build confidence in real-world situations.

    No experience needed • Training provided on-site

    This is a great opportunity for:

    • Individuals looking for a simple way to give back
    • Professionals who want to support students
    • Small teams or coworkers who want to volunteer together

    Join us for a meaningful and easy way to make a difference in just one afternoon.
