Junior Achievement has proven to be engaging and fun while stressing the importance of an education as economic concepts and information about the world of work are introduced to students. For the future of our community, it is essential for businesses to work with the schools so our children are aware of the opportunities here in virtually any occupation they may be interested in. Junior Achievement is an ideal way to start this process.
The Junior Achievement program has included grades K-6, the sessions run for five weeks, one hour each week, during the school day. All materials are provided along with a training manual.
The Junior Achievement Program included asks for a voluntary tax-deductible donation of $160, the cost of sponsoring a class. However, any contribution is appreciated. If you are unable to sponsor a class there is an option of being a volunteer teacher.
