Volunteer with JA Career Success Workshop


Help Prepare Students for the Future and Set Them Up for Success!

JA Career Success Workshop is a statewide initiative that connects high schools, higher education, and the business community in an effort to close the employability skills gap and prepare NJ students for success after graduation.

Volunteers from all industries and backgrounds spend a half day mentoring and coaching students through a series of engaging activities while sharing career advice and their world of work. No advanced preparation is required. JA provides all the materials, and are with you every step of the way!
