Your Experience.  Your Skills.  His Future.

Volunteers embody the heart of Junior Achievement. You play a key role in bringing Junior Achievement to life.  By sharing your personal and professional experiences and skills with students from your community — your future employees or customers — you help them make the connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and in life.

Can you give one hour per week for 5-7 weeks?
Or just one day for 3-4 hours?
Choose the location, grade, day and time that’s best for you.
We provide everything you need to make participation in JA interactive and engaging for students.

You will leave feeling proud, energized, and hopeful about your role in creating a better future for our young people.

TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve volunteered for JA for 18 years, and I continue because I believe in bringing the workplace into the school so they can better connect.”  Volunteer Tracy Crews, Michelin

“Spinx truly values the work that JA of Upstate SC is accomplishing in our communities.  Teaching younger generations the knowledge and fundamentals of how business works is a beneficial lesson that helps not only the individual sutdents but also the community as a whole.”  Sponsor Stewart Spinks, CEO of The Spinx Company

“Junior Achievement was great because it gave me a true perspective of the business world.  It provided not only a learning experience, but also an enjoyable way to learn to use business variables and factors.  Being able to participate in the JA Titan Challenge and win a college scholarship made me an even bigger JA fan!” Student, Greenville High School

“Thank you for teaching us about workforce readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.  I have learned new work that I didn’t know before.  I hope you continue to teach people this.  It will help a lot.”  Student, Monaview Elementary School
