Volunteer Opportunity: JA Jobspark

Junior Achievement (JA) JobSpark is a two-day, hands-on career expo impacting over 10,000 Indianapolis eighth graders. The JA JobSpark initiative includes in-class or remote curriculum and activities prior to and after attending the event.

JA JobSpark is meant to “spark” an interest in students and get them excited for their future careers. Students will learn about skills needed for jobs that will be in demand when they graduate and will learn about the equipment that is used on those jobs daily. Students will have a better understanding of the courses they will need to take in high school, a track for post-secondary and a clear career pathway for what they find they are interested in.

Members are invited to volunteer to guide students through activities at our booth. We have organized two-hour shifts from 8:30am -2:30pm on September 20 and 21. Please feel free to sign up for multiple slots or the full day if you are available!

Sign up here to volunteer.

There will be breaks and a lunch break throughout the day during the shifts. More information and training about the program will be shared with those who sign up to volunteer.

We sincerely hope you can join us at the Indiana State Fairgrounds to volunteer for JA Jobspark!
