In 2015 & 2016, I lead the JA Our Families and JA Our City programs to 1st and 3rd grade classrooms in southern Indiana schools. The programs introduced how family members' jobs and businesses contribute to the well-being of the family and community, and the importance of money to a city. It also explained how financial institutions help businesses and residents and how the media is an integral part of a city's life. I've seen first hand how these programs impact students, and I'm hoping you can help make sure these programs continue for future generations!
