Economics for Success (EFS) (previously a 1-day in-class program for grade 8 students) HAS GONE VIRTUAL!. Students learn basic financial literacy (create personal and professional goals, prepare a personal budget, interview scenarios and learn about career choices). A 1 hour virtual orientation and online self-directed training is provided. Volunteers deliver this workshop virtually to students in a grade 8 class. It can be done solo or with a partner.
The volunteer will join a classroom virtually, with a teacher present, to discuss the following lessons (approximately 1 hour):

1. Chose Your Own Adventure (goal setting, personal strengths/interests/skills and choices in setting educational and training).
2.Finding Balance (the cost of living, budgeting for living on your own)
3.Strategies for Success (may include tips on how to get and keep a job, how to present yourself in an interview, what is ‘networking’, why it is good to have a mentor, personal brand). The program can be further explored here: https://www.jacampus.org/

You will share your personal stories, experiences and career path with students and/or provide real-life examples to help them relate to the concepts. Optional: If you and the classroom teacher agree, you can schedule a follow up session (30-60 minutes) with students to complete the remaining program activities (some teachers opt to complete the activities themselves with students).

-Volunteers have the option to work independently or with a peer of their choosing
-Must register with JA Ottawa: https://jacan.thankyou4caring.org/ottawa/DEV/volunteer-opportunity (2 reference checks are required)
-Must have access to a computer with sound and video, in a private, quiet location with NO background distractions.
-Must be able to access Google Meets from their computer (some corporations have firewalls restricting access from work computers)
-Must be available for a follow-up session (30 minutes) if requested by the teacher.
-Commitment is for a minimum of 1 class; option to volunteer for as additional classes according to your availability.

Imagine you're a 27-year-old single parent earning $25,000 a year as an office assistant, or perhaps you're a 35-year-old regional manager making $65,000 annually. How will you manage your money? At JA Finance Park, students act like adults for a day and make personal financial decisions in a realistic "city" simulation. Regardless of the role, students are assigned to play, they develop enduring financial skills by participating in classroom-based and simulated experiences.

Before you present JA Finance Park, Junior Achievement staff will provide comprehensive training and share the goals of the simulation experience. You will become familiar with the daily schedule, the work expected of the students, and your role and responsibilities as a volunteer. You also will be instructed on how to use the Volunteer Guide and Volunteer Checklist to help facilitate the program. Volunteers are key to the success of JA Finance Park. From the beginning of the volunteer training until the end of the simulation, JA staff will be available to answer all your questions.

The time commitment at JA Finance Park is minimal compared to the significant impact you will make on the lives of young people. The volunteer day, composed of full training and the simulation experience, will pass quickly and leave you astonished by how much the students accomplish in such a short period of time.

Here is a short video to give a glimpse of what to expect for the volunteer experience.

Charlotte High School is hosting a Job Fair for graduating seniors. We are inviting a variety of employers to the event. Our goal is for students and employers to network sharing career paths leading to employment.

In addition, we are hosting a Reality Fair, which will provide students with an experience to learn about budgeting and financing using a mock simulation. Each student will receive a job with a starting salary. They will then progress through different booths as if they moved to a new city. They need a variety of products, housing, transportation and other services to be independent.

This is will be a great opportunity for seniors to experience searching for a job and budgeting. In addition, we want to develop a long-term partnership with your organization.
