Each week, a volunteer comes to your classroom to teach a lesson specially designed by JA to fit in with what you're already learning in school, but with the extra insight only the volunteer can add from his or her own life experience.
The volunteer will visit your class for about 45 minutes once per week for 5–10 weeks, depending on your grade.
If you're interested in learning more, check out lesson descriptions for Elementary, Middle, or High School.
These scholarship opportunities are available to high school students.
