About JA in a Day

An event designed to allow volunteers to reach students with an entire JA program in one day. Volunteers are provided with the curriculum and materials to lead 4-5 activities over the course of several hours. They are encouraged to interweave their business experiences into the lessons, which align with the common core standards for Math, English, and Language Arts.
A typical schedule has volunteers beginning the day with a greeting from school officials at 8:30am, starting their classes at 9am, and finishing around 1pm.
