麻豆原创 has one of the largest partnerships with JA in the nation. 麻豆原创’s JA program sends college students to more than 120 Central Florida elementary and middle schools, where they teach underserved youths. Last fall, 1,604 麻豆原创 students taught 30,698 children.<\/p>\n

Each 麻豆原创 student’s commitment is typically a few hours per week during the semester.<\/p>\n
The 麻豆原创-JA partnership began in 1992 in the College of Education with a group of 20 student volunteers. About 600 education students now participate annually.<\/p>\n
The Burnett Honors College set up a partnership with JA in Fall 2004, resulting in the Honors Freshman Symposium, a program that requires all honors freshmen to participate in the JA program during their first semester.<\/p>\n
The College of Business Administration also incorporates JA into its curriculum, involving nearly 300 students per semester. As part of their cornerstone class, students spend at least 25 hours teaching JA classes and completing projects for elementary schools and middle schools.<\/p>\n
