About Junior Achievement BizTown:

Junior Achievement (JA) helps prepare today’s students for a bright future! One of their most popular events, BizTown, is an event where fourth through sixth grade students take a field trip to a simulated town full of real-world businesses. This popular learning experience allows students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are selected for a “job” and take on the role of a real-world professional, connecting the dots from what they’ve learned in school.

As a volunteer, you’ll guide students through the day, offering your firsthand knowledge and expertise to enhance their experiences. Each day, a team of 15-20 volunteers helps students have a meaningful JA BizTown experience. JA staff are also on-site to lead the simulation. Online training is required prior to your JA BizTown visit. In addition, volunteers arrive early on simulation day for hands-on instruction.
