Volunteer at BizTown

Each day JA BizTown opens its doors, 5^th or 6^th grade students become JA BizTown 'citizen's for the day where they work in one of the 15 businesses, manage their personal and business finances, develop and sell products, hold business meetings, pay taxes and donate to charity.  Prior to attending the simulation, students are led through 17 teacher-led sessions.  

 

You will assist the students in their assigned businesses throughout the 4 ½ hour day.  Volunteers serve as "business consultants", leading staff meetings, helping the student to read and understand their job directions, and reminding the students to stay on task and focus on their goals.

 

Not much is needed to volunteer.  JA BizTown has training videos and job overviews.  

 

However, you will need to scan your license upon entering the building.  

 

Dress business casual, License, Bagged lunch.  Popcorn, muffins, coffee, tea and lemonade are provided.
