Help upstate students develop the skills they need to succeed in a
competitive economy. The Junior Achievement of Upstate South Carolina is
looking for volunteers to teach young people from kindergarten through
12thgrade about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial
literacy.
Volunteers are able to choose school location, grade level and time to
teach. Each grade has their own corresponding curriculum and some middle
and high school grades have the ability to choose a curriculum according to
the subject it would be presented in (social studies, economics, etc.)
Please visit http://www.jaupstatesc.org  for more information and please
email Lesley Horton at Lesleyh at clemson.edu if you are interested in
volunteering for this great program.

Fifteen points towards the Outstanding Citizenship Award will be awarded
for each volunteer event attended with Junior Achievement.
