Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa

Junior Achievement of Eastern Iowa partners with the Waterloo School District to provide Junior Achievement programs in all classrooms Kindergarten through 8th grade.  Volunteers engage students in solving real-world problems related to Work Readiness, Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy to better prepare them for the complexities of both work and life in the 21st century.  Every year Junior Achievement utilizes over 450 volunteers within the local schools.  Volunteers are needed to lead weekly, 30-45 minute lessons in local classrooms. These programs last from 5 to 7 weeks, depending on the grade level.  Necessary program materials and 1 hour of training are provided by the Junior Achievement staff.
