Jan 10    WCCCC Junior Achievement Training
We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help seventh graders begin thinking about their career choices and future finances now!    
Volunteers will teach Junior Achievement’s “Economics for Success”, a structured curriculum that gives students the information needed to build strong personal finances, a cornerstone to a happy, secure life.  Students learn the importance of exploring career options based on their skills, interests, and values. They also learn about spending money within a budget; saving and investing wisely; and using credit cautiously.  The WCCCC has determined these skills to be so important, we have committed to help teach them to every Barbers Hill seventh grader!
