You will coach a small group of students through the simulation, while sharing your life experiences that will help make the day authentic for the students. In JA BizTown, you’ll guide students as they make decisions around running their business, spending their hard-earned paycheck, and generating a profit. You will help them discover the value of themselves, their education, and their future beyond the classroom walls. No matter your profession, your life experiences qualify you to be a successful volunteer! Please read our  updated volunteer waiver in advance  on JA’s expectations and policies to be a volunteer.  All volunteers will be screened onsite with their driver’s license or form of identification and must have a clean National Sex Offender Registry record to volunteer with JA programs. You are certifying that you have never been charged with any violent crime or any crime involving minors. You will receive an online version to read and agree to during the sign-up process.

Looking ahead, our students will lead our businesses, advance our communities and discover breakthroughs. Today, we give them the opportunity to experience these possibilities. JA BizTown creates an unmatched experience where middle school students are able to interact within a simulated economy and take on the role of citizen, consumer and employee. Here, students not only discover the intricacies of being a professional and member of the community, but also discover the abundance of opportunities available within their community.
