Training for the Classroom

Training for the Classroom

Junior Achievement provides volunteer training which lasts approximately 20 - 45 min. The JA staff schedules both group and one-on-one training sessions to accommodate the volunteer’s schedule. The training covers specific program curriculum information as well as classroom management and teaching tips.
