Junior Achievement of Mad River
There are a number of ways to get involved with Junior Achievement: You can volunteer in a classroom or for a special event, make a donation or pledge, or come work for us on staff.
Volunteer
Volunteers embody the heart of Junior Achievement. Taking a message of opportunity and economic understanding to a classroom in your community, no matter what your profession, is JA in action.
Junior Achievement’s classroom volunteers come from all walks of life and include business people, college students, and retirees. These dedicated individuals are the backbone of the organization.
