    and after school programs for kids kindergarten through 12th grade.

    The programs are taught in the classroom and workplace by volunteers from the local business community. Walnut Creeks students participated last year and will again this year, according to the group.

    Last school year, Contra Costa students participated in "JA Days," where trained volunteers spent a day in a classroom, or once a week for up to seven weeks.

    "Students learned the basics of personal and professional finances, starting and marketing a business, ethical dilemmas, and entrepreneurship," according to the release. "Teachers welcome JA into the classroom because it helps students connect other lessons and topics they have covered to 'real world' applications."
