Testimonials

"I volunteered at JA in Durango several years ago.  I ran into one of the children at the grocery store a few years late and he told me that because of our class, he has a goal to save money for a lawn mower to start his own business in the summers.  The child told me he never thought he could do it because he was poor, but with hard work and determination he KNEW HE COULD" - Classroom Volunteer at Sand Creek Elementary School

"It was great to see our students work on a different curricular area that is real-world connected." - 5th Grade Teacher at Roosevelt Charter School

"Love the Finance Park experience and students really enjoyed the conversations they had with the volunteers. Very thankful for the curriculum! Students enjoy the hands-on activities that get them creatively thinking." - Teacher

"The JA curriculum is one of the most comprehensive and standards aligned social studies curriculum supplement we have found. The lessons are engaging, and the kids make real world connections. This kit is one of the highlights of the year for our second graders." - Teacher

"After hearing about our jobs, one of the students said he wanted to be a City Manager when he grows up which we thought was really cool! My favorite thing about participating in JA was just interacting with the students. I don't get to work with kids very often and it is super rewarding to be able to make an impact on them ." - Volunteer
