an ear to listen,  and 
a push in the right direction.


Thank You City of Hallandale Beach!


Did you ever want to be a teacher? 
Or want to share the life lessons you've learned? 

We have the perfect opportunity! 

We provide all the training, materials and support - we just need your time! 
 
Thanks to the generosity of City of Hallandale Beach, JA has been granted an incredible opportunity to connect local business men and women with Hallandale Beach High School's 9th and 10th graders, through two of our programs, JA Career Success and JA Personal Finance.

  • Commitment: 90 minutes a day for 3 or 5 days during school hours at Hallandale Beach High School. 
  • Individuals can also pair up to teach together as a great team building activity! Consider coordinating a team of mentors to share the responsibilities.
  • Prior teaching experience is not required & JA provides all materials and curriculum including interactive games, scripts, etc.
  • 1 hour training is provided and can take place at your office if you recruit five or more co-workers and/or friends.
  • Programs will be during the month of February 2018.
  • Upon successful completion, each volunteer will receive a stipend of $75!
