Junior Achievement uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand the business of life. In partnership with business and educators, Junior Achievement brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential and preparing them for the workplace.

Description:
Junior Achievement is a non-profit organization that has been around Lehigh Valley since 1955 and Greater Reading since 1969. Junior Achievement looks for volunteers to go into a class room setting and teach kids about business and the free enterprise system. The program will take about 45 minutes out of their day for once a week for 5 to 10 weeks. Junior Achievement provides all the materials for the volunteers and an activity for each lesson.

The teachers and volunteers will set up their own schedule. It can be flexible and different times.
