JA Business Communication

Organization: Junior Achievement of Rhode Island (JA) is dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.

Opportunity: JA Business Communications, part of the JA High School Experience courses, is a one-semester teacher-led course that equips high school students to focus on communication skills necessary to succeed in business, including communicating up, down, and across organizations, talking about performance, and writing in a business setting. Volunteers engage with students through a variety of activities that includes subject matter guest speaking and coaching or advising for case study and project course work.
