“It is because of my journey with Junior Achievement that I have grown the confidence to be a team player, to speak in front of crowds, and regain the hope I had lost
in myself and my abilities.”

HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT
Every year, 2,100 successful adult role models
participate in structured interactions, lessons,
games and activities with over 17,000 local
students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Every Junior Achievement experience is
designed to connect kids to their future and
make education relevant by showing young
people how to become successful adults.
Junior Achievement volunteers show kids
how to: earn and manage money, launch business start-ups and explore careers that match their interests.
