Volunteer Network of the Valley

Junior Achievement of the Mahoning Valley is reaching out about the numerous volunteer opportunities. Junior Achievement’s proven lessons in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship are shown to positively impact the lives of young people.
Now more than ever, students need guidance and information on these topics. We rely on our volunteers to help us reach area youth in our four counties: Columbiana, Trumbull, Mahoning, and Ashtabula.
At this time, we are in need of volunteers for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year.
Our K-5 elementary programs consist of 5 lessons with each lesson taking 30-45 minutes to complete.
Our middle school programs consist of 6 lessons with each lesson taking 45 minutes to complete.
Finally, our 9-12 high school programs consist of 1 to 7 lessons, depending on program, with each lesson taking 45 minutes to complete.
As a JA volunteer, you are provided with everything for the class, including all handouts and a presentation guidebook. For new JA volunteers, we offer training which goes over some teaching tips, breakdown of materials and an overview of the curriculum. We also offer JA program tutorial videos as well.
Please take a look at the link below to view the current available opportunities. Click on each box to see the available times, dates and locations of the programs.
