[quote=Anonymous]The field trip is jointly run by MCPS and Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement does reach out and try to get corporate volunteers. There are many big organizations that will give their employees time off to volunteer. They also want parent volunteer because it can be more relevant for students to learn from someone from the community. Parents can share their personal financial stories with the students. Volunteers run a 'store front' and lead small groups of students through financial simulations like buying a car or budgeting for daycare. Each small group of students will rotate through different stations with different financial situations. It is a valuable experience for students. It is a good introduction to financial literacy and helps puts what whey have learned in the classroom into a real world situation. Thanks for supporting your community. [/quote]
