Angel Silva began volunteering for Junior Achievement in 2007 as part of Northwest Georgia’s Hispanic Outreach Program. He joined the district's Board of Directors in June, 2007, and teaches JA programs in middle and high school classrooms. He also volunteered for JA’s new program, the JA College Pipeline.
“The programs are fun and are filled with examples students can relate to. I will never forget when one student came to me and stated she liked the JA activities but that the most meaningful element was having a real person, a volunteer, to interact with," said Angel. "Helping young people discover their potential and imparting an understanding of economic principals is a fantastic experience. With this in mind, not only do we mentor our upcoming leaders, but we make a difference in our future community as well.”
To provide our programs free of charge, JA of Georgia relies on the generous support of our donors.
JA of Georgia’s volunteers are the critical link between the business and education communities.
Teachers are where everything starts; get your students involved in Junior Achievement.
