Celebrating Our Junior Achievement Volunteers

We are excited to welcome Junior Achievement (JA) volunteers back into our classrooms again this year! These dedicated community members bring learning to life by pairing JA’s hands‑on curriculum with their own real‑world experiences. Through engaging lessons on careers, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and ethical decision‑making, JA volunteers help students understand how the skills they practice in school connect to future opportunities.

Junior Achievement continues to be a powerful source of inspiration for young people. During the 2025-26 school year, over 2,000 volunteers across South Dakota are sharing their time and talents to support more than 50,000 students. Their commitment helps spark curiosity, build confidence, and encourage students to imagine what their futures could hold.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the volunteers and teachers listed below for their involvement with JA this year. Their willingness to invest in our students makes a meaningful and lasting difference.

If you’re interested in volunteering, or if you’d like to sponsor a student for just $25, please contact the JA office at (605) 336‑7318 or jasd@ja.org. Your support helps empower the next generation of leaders, innovators, and community builders.
