Junior Achievement of Central Ontario volunteers are making positive contributions to the lives of students -- tomorrow's leaders and at this time there simply isn't enough of them.
With a waiting list of approximately 13,000 students the demand is greater than the supply of volunteers, which means that some students will miss out on the JA advantage. That means they'll be missing out on the opportunity to acquire skills that will support them long into their futures.
What better time than now?
