Junior Achievement brings business volunteers into classrooms once a week for five weeks to lead exciting, hands-on activities in grades K-5. These activities show students the relevance of education to the workplace, and help prepare them for secondary school and lifelong learning. Concepts and skills taught at each program level build on those learned in preceding grades. Ourselves - Students are introduced to basic personal economic issues and the roles individuals play as workers, consumers, and family members. Our Families - Students learn about the role of families in the local economy, the jobs they have, and their economic needs and wants. Our Community - Students take part in activities that demonstrate the responsibilities of and opportunities available to citizens in their economic community. Our City - Students conduct business operations, make city planning decisions, and examine economic development issues. Our Region - Students learn about state economics, the economic resources in regions, and decisions businesses must make. Our Nation - Students carry out activities for operating a business, including management, marketing, production, and holding an annual meeting.
