Thank you for volunteering for JA! Prior to teaching your first JA class all new volunteers must complete the prescribed JA trianing program. There are several ways that you can satisfy this requirement.
Regularly scheduled hour long training sessions take place at the Junior Achievement office on the first and third Thursday of every month between September 15 and May 1. Please contact Junior Achievement at (518) 783-4336 X210 to sign up for a training session. If it is absolutely not possible for you to attend the recommended training program at the JA office, you can use the online training option by following the directions below.
Please read the following prior to proceeding to the on-line training.
To train online click the link at the bottom of the page and register as a new user. You will need to give your name and email and click “register as a new user”. For JA area, choose Northeastern New York from the dropdown list (which is alphabetical by state). After you register you will get a return email with the training link and your password, so you can go back online and get into the training portion of the website. Go to the Volunteer Orientation tab to access the training modules. You need to complete all four of the basic requirement modules and also the one for the grade level program you will be teaching. Volunteers have the option of going through the entire training at once or by going through selected modules at different times. The computer keeps track of the modules not taken.
When you do the quickie quiz at the end of each module, it registers as completed. (If it doesn’t show as completed, try hitting refresh on your browser, but don’t worry if it doesn’t. This will indicate at the JA office. The on-line training should take about 30 minutes to complete. When you have completed all the modules and quizzes, please email your JA contact so they can verify your completed training. Once that is done, you are all set!
