Junior Achievement Opportunity

Dear Harlem Middle School Parents & Family Members,

Support your child by volunteering with us at Junior Achievement of Georgia (JA)! JA, Columbia County School District, and Richmond County School System have partnered to build the JA Discovery Center of the CSRA. The facility will be housed in a 30,000-square-foot space within Columbia County Schools’ Support Complex. This JA Discovery Center expands access to our programming to 15,000 area middle school students, giving them the opportunity to experience their futures by engaging in our hands-on simulations called JA Finance Park and JA BizTown.

We need parent and family volunteers to coach our middle school students throughout the simulation day sharing your life wisdom and experience! If you have ever had a job or paid a bill, you are VERY qualified to be a JA volunteer.
