JA Subject Matter Expert Ongoing Opportunity (High School)

JA's biggest source of high school programming are semester long business courses that cover our three educational pillars. These courses cover marketing principles, economics, financial capability, financial literacy, entrepreneurial mindset, business communication, and business and technology. These programs are predominantly led by the classroom educator with volunteer guest speaker interaction. The volunteer guest speaker is asked to visit the class five times over the course of the semester to provide their expertise on the course topic by listening to student presentations and giving feedback on the course case study. The estimated total time commitment is 5 hours over the course of the semester. The initial date is a scheduled date, but the remaining four dates are scheduled as per the guest speaker's availability.

Volunteers will need to arrive at the school and check in at the main office 15 minutes prior to the start time. We ask that volunteers dress in comfortable shoes as you will be standing and interacting with your students; organization or company shirts are welcome.

Suggested age of volunteers is at least 25 years old. Volunteers are required to complete a background check before the day of the event. Following registration, a background screening link and required documents for review and signature will be sent via email. If not completed, the volunteerwill be unable to volunteer. If you are bilingual or multilingual, please note the language(s) spoken.
