Thank you for your review of the materials policy. Your attention to it will ensure that JA Hong Kong preserves JA’s significant investment in research and development of educational materials and will also keep JA informed of interested parties as we work to bring JA Programs to more students in Hong Kong.
Volunteer Conduct Standards
Junior Achievement (JA) Hong Kong is an organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering young people to improve the quality of their lives and communities through high-quality, interactive enterprise and economic learning programs in a partnership between business and education. Our purpose is to educate and inspire young people to value free enterprise, understand business and economics, and be workforce ready.

Child abuse is a fact in our society and a matter of critical national concern. It is of special concern to JA because we bring volunteer role models into the educational system. Child abuse is damage to a child for which there is no "reasonable" explanation. It includes non-accidental physical injury, neglect, sexual molestation and emotional abuse.

JA has an aggressive program to deal with the issues of child abuse in an attempt to ensure there is no such abuse in any of its programs. The program involves the establishment of policies that make it difficult for child abuse to occur within its programs, the encouragement of prompt reporting of inappropriate conduct, and the swift removal and reporting of alleged offenders.

JA believes that by working together with responsible members of the community it can best confront the abnormal issues of child abuse.

The following standards are designed to help volunteers understand the practice we expect them to employ in the classroom while acting as a JA business volunteer. These standards are designed to help protect both the student as well as the volunteer. Our policy states that each volunteer must have a signed Volunteer Conduct Standards form on file with JA before entering the classroom as a business volunteer.

JA’s Volunteer Standards state that volunteers shall not:
  • Have any inappropriate contact inside or outside the classroom with any student met through their JA class, including those students 18 years of age or older.
  • Be in contact with any student inside or outside the classroom unless that student’s teacher, another school-sanctioned adult, another JA volunteer, or the student’s parent or guardian is present or has provided written consent.
  • Be in contact with any student inside or outside the classroom without the prior knowledge or consent of JA Hong Kong staff.


Exceptions would include routine business activity or bona fide job interviews for students 15 years of age or older, conducted at a regular place of business and during regular business hours.

Some examples of inappropriate conduct may include but are not limited to:
  • Dress that violates school dress codes or is inconsistent with normal business attire.
  • Use of profanity in the classroom.
  • Providing alcohol to minors, or having alcohol on a school campus.
  • Physical contact which is inappropriate to a teacher-pupil professional relationship considering the age and sex of the student.


Allegations of violation of these standards will result in immediate suspension as a JA volunteer. If an investigation by the proper authorities determines a violation occurred, it will result in the immediate and permanent dismissal as a JA volunteer.

I have read and understand JA's Volunteer Conduct Standards as stated above and will abide by these standards.
