Junior Achievement of Western PA is seeking volunteers to teach financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness programs in Muse Elementary School (Canon-Mac School District) for one day in May. Program materials and training are provided by JA.
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. We rely on corporate and community volunteers to teach these JA programs during the students' school days, to grades K-12, connecting classroom learning with real-world applications. Volunteers are truly the heart of Junior Achievement, inspiring our children to discover their potential and find their niches in the 21st-century global marketplace.

Most schools do not require clearances and in all cases a teacher is required to stay in the classroom with you. Teachers will be on hand to help with classroom management.
