JAWR offers a unique and rewarding volunteer experience

We provide opportunities within corporate volunteer programs (or independently) to inspire and influence students for the better through our easily-implemented programs focused on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.

  

Impacting a Future Generation

Building a budget. Learning to network & build a personal brand. Wants versus needs. Aren’t these all things you wish someone had taught you as you were growing up? JA volunteers supply the enthusiasm and life experiences for out programs, which results in bringing relevance between program content and real life for students.

 

  

Investing in Your Community

Through volunteering with JAWR and sharing past experiences in your career or personal life you help students understand skills that will help them to succeed in – and prepare for their futures. 

 

 

     
 
Looking forward, our youth will be the people driving change and innovation. JA inspires youth to be those leaders. We provide students with opportunities to develop skills that they will help them succeed in the future. As a volunteer, you are the bread and butter of our interactive, hands-on programs. JAWR will provide the program training, subject content, and a class full of students ready to benefit from your life experiences.

When I was in grade 8, Paul came to my class at St Teresa to deliver the Economics for Success program. For me it was really inspiring and helped to spark my interest in business. Until meting Paul, I had not had much exposure to business and finance. His passion and enthusiasm led me to then choose all available business courses in high school and proceed to attend university for accounting. When it came time to apply for a job, TD was a natural choice as I remembered how much Paul loved his job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keith is a very friendly and warm person. He greets the students with a smile every time he opens a class. He treats the students with respect and they really appreciate his professionalism and his professional background. Students also sense that he is there because he cares about the material, cares for them, and cares about their futures. Keith is adept at getting and maintaining student attention with personal stories, yummy treats, and talking about ideas that students find important. In summary, after working Keith for several years, I have observed that he is caring, competent, and committed to serving students via the JA programs.
