Program Training
Prior to volunteering in a classroom (either in person or virtually), please join other JABC Volunteers and B.C. Educators for live training via Zoom. Simply select your JA Program below, pick one of the scheduled training sessions 1-2 weeks before your volunteer date and click to register!
Important: You must be a registered JABC volunteer before you sign up for program training. Not yet registered in our system? Just go to our New Volunteer Registration page to create an account!
Training Dates
Please only sign up for one session at a time. Once registered, you will receive a Zoom confirmation email and your JABC Program trainer will be in touch with further details.
These training sessions run for 90 minutes. The content focuses on delivering each specific JA program, not on volunteering in a virtual setting.
If you have any additional questions, please contact a member of our Program Team.
2025-26 Training Dates Coming Soon!
