Another of my Junior Achievement classes caught on video saying what they think of the program. These are 5th graders, and they LOVE having someone new come into the class for a few weeks. It doesn’t take a tremendous amount of time; 45 minutes in the classroom, maybe 30-45 minutes of pre-reading the materials and making notes and whatever commute time it takes to get there.
For this group, the commitment ran over 5 weeks. For my high school ethics group, the commitment runs for 7 weeks. I did a class last year that ran 5 hours… in a row. But it was over in one day. I had about 2 hours of prep the evening before.
There are lots of ways to get involved with kids in the community. A lot of us talk about the need for kids to get a more rounded education, and that more money isn’t always the solution. This is my way of putting my mouth where the money was.
