Junior Achievement Volunteers showed 2nd grade students how communities use taxes. |
More than thirty volunteers from Junior Achievement of NY engaged students from kindergarten to 2nd grade in hands-on activities that introduce students to how citizens benefit from and contribute to a community's success. Junior Achievement's purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy by introducing them to the principles of market-based economics and entrepreneurship
By the end of the day, students in eight classes were able to:
- Describe a community.
- Identify the variety of careers people have in a community and how each job requires specific skills.
- Identify how business and government jobs help a community.
- Explain how taxation supports government services.
- Recognize voting as a way responsible citizens act.
- Describe the flow of money in a community's economy.
