Volunteers needed for ‘JA in a Day’

KNIK — Mat-Su Valley volunteers will spend a few hours from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Nov. 15 teaching lessons on financial literacy and entrepreneurship to students in kindergarten through second grade at Goose Bay Elementary School.

Mat-Su businesses are sponsoring the first-time Junior Achievement in a Day event, providing funds for materials and training, as well as the volunteers for the day.

Volunteers from the business community will teach five, lively, hands-on economics lessons and talk about their work and educational experiences.

Last year Junior Achievement of Alaska reached more than 7,000 students statewide with its age-appropriate, hands-on K-12 financial literacy programs.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Stephanie Mode at 344-0101.
