JA Chick-fil-A Discovery Center at Atlanta | Downtown Atlanta
Volunteer Role
Volunteers serve as "coaches" for a group of 5-8 middle school students navigating their way through the 1-day simulated economy, JA BizTown. During the interactive simulation, students get to be an adult for the day! As a volunteer, help students take on the challenge of running a business. You will answer questions about what it is like to have adult responsibilities and help students make adult decisions.
No prep work needed. We welcome volunteers 18+ (17 with guardian consent) of any education background and lived experience! Volunteers receive training at the beginning of the volunteer day.
