The Kids College is working with Junior Achievement in San Diego to bring the BizTown program to North County schools.
The Junior Achievement BizTown Program is being offered to schools in north San Diego county..
For information on the curriculum please view the BizTown Overview to see the individual topics for the lessons.
We are very excited to bring the Junior Achievement McGrath Family BizTown program to North County 4th and 5th grade students. Programs will be planned for the 2012-2013 school year. The programs will culminate in a field trip to the Mission Gorge BizTown facility where children “run the town” for 4 ½ hours.
Volunteers
Volunteers will be needed for field trips and interviewing students. Forms will be sent home with students to ask for your participation. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us.
During the field trip, each shop must have at least one volunteer. We are required to bring at least 25 volunteers to assist with the visit. Volunteers serve as "business consultants." They lead the shop staff meetings, help the students read and understand their job duties for the day, and remind the students to stay on task and focus on their goals.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
- You are assigned to one of our exciting BizTown shops.
- You answer questions from students and mentor them on making wise business and personal finance decisions.
- You assist with the students' break schedules and monitor their staff meetings.
- We give you "tourist dollars" so you can shop in BizTown, too!
Sponsors
We are looking for business sponsors that can help to provide scholarships to children that could not otherwise attend. If you know of any business that want to help provide this exciting enrichment opportunity to deserving students please contact Ann Little.
