Help Make Junior Achievement’s Interactive Career Fair the Best Ever!

Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South needs your help at JA Inspire 2025!

The JA Inspire Career Expo is a unique career exploration program for eighth grade students that culminates each spring at the Agricenter International in Memphis. It is designed for students to take ownership of their futures while engaging with exhibit industry experts to learn about high-wage and fast-growing careers in our regional economy. 

JA Inspire brings together a variety of employers and thousands of students to create an immersive experience that exposes students to different careers, the skills and different educational pathways needed to pursue a future in these industries.

Although this is a student self-guided and exhibitor-led program, volunteers are needed in logistical positions to enable an effective and efficient experience for the schools attending. Please consider spending a small amount of your time to help local students and teachers receive a large impact from their experience with the industry exhibitors represented. 

It’s easy to participate! Simply complete the two (2) step process: 1) complete the volunteer application, 2) upon email receipt of your JA Raptor Volunteer portal login credentials, sign up for one, two or all three days and your desired time slot(s). 

The volunteer slot options are as follows:

May 6-8, 2025 (Wed-Fri)

8:15a-10:45a 

10:30a-1:00p 

12:45p-3:00p

Volunteers are needed for different logistical positions during the three (3) shifts of each day. Posts will be discussed during both the virtual and in-person orientation and walk-through.

Without you, this incredible event would not be possible!
