Hello Friends and Family,

Back in November, I volunteered with my colleagues at an elementary school in Chicago. I spent the day teaching kindergertners the basics of financial literacy and provided mentorship. It was a very impactful day and I am looking forward to more volunteering opporutnities with Junior Achievement.

Junior Achievement is a wonderful organization that is working hard to educate Chicago area students on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Business and community volunteers deliver JA lessons that give kids the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices.

During the COVID-19 crisis Junior Achievement of Chicago is providing digital programming for parents and teachers to deliver in home and to incorporate at the return of traditional classroom learning. JA of Chicago remains steadfast in our efforts to sustain operations and prepare to once again, bring comprehensive economic education to all students in the Chicagoland area. There is a tremendous need for funding to support these programs, so any dollar you can give will help JA reach students during these unprecedented times. 

Today feels uncertain, but tomorrow is more important than ever! Junior Achievement of Chicago ensures young people are prepared for the ever-changing future. Junior Achievement of Chicago has maintained a low cost of $20 per student, so for only $100 you could sponsor 5 JA students!

Thanks so much for your support!
