Why Volunteer with JAGNO?

IMG_4998.JPG

Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans is making a positive impact on students throughout Southeastern Louisiana. Through age appropriate curriculum, students are engaged with hands-on experiences to help them understand the economics of life. Our volunteers provide real-life experience and knowledge to the students that we work with from Kindergarten through high school.

Volunteers are typically business professionals, college students, community members, or parents who want to play an active part in participating in the education of students around them.  We are continually striving to work with a pool of volunteers to reflect the diversity of the communities and students that we serve throughout the Greater New Orleans area and Southeastern Louisiana.

Volunteering with JA is not only fun, but great professional development - our volunteers practice public speaking, training, management, problem solving, and leadership during their volunteering commitment.  Many volunteers are able to count their JA experience for volunteer credit hours with their employer.  JA volunteers find the experience to be powerful, fun, and rewarding – and many come back and teach with us year after year!
