This organization is great! I loved how they are teaching children real life skills. I look back at my education and I see how the foundations helped, but it did not prepare me for the difficultly of being an adult. And this program strives to do that and to help encourage children to become great humans in our society. I was happy to do this. I hope I can do it again someday.

JA programs are fun and easy. You are given all of the materials you need to teach a class. The volunteer commitment is small, only about 5 hours per class which can be done all at once or over a few weeks. You can also request the age/grade and school of your choice to volunteer in. This is a great way to give back to your community.
