Junior Achievement programs are presented by volunteers -  dedicated men and women who bring their unique insight and inspiration to students in Northeastern New York.

They transform the abstract into the practical, breathing life experience into textbooks and economic theories. They answer questions about the importance of education in the marketplace with information based upon their own successes and failures. Volunteers act as personal role models, particularly for students who are from cultures and communities similar to their own.

Junior Achievement volunteer business consultants have no special background beyond a willingness to give of their time and energy. Equipped with Junior Achievement-prepared class materials, they quickly lose any fear of being at the front of the class and become energized and inspired by their students' youthful enthusiasm. All agree on one undeniable benefit: their partnership with Junior Achievement will create a stronger, smarter pool of future employees who will enhance America's ability to compete within the global marketplace.
