Creating Boundless Possibilities with JA

At Junior Achievement, we believe in “possible.” Each day, we work to help young people discover what’s possible in their lives. We do this by helping them connect what they learn in school with life outside the classroom. We let them know it’s possible to invest in their future, to gain a better understanding of how the world works, and to pursue their dreams. We show them that it’s possible for tomorrow to be a better day. 

I am one of hundreds of volunteers that step into the classroom and teach Junior Achievement.  As a board member I believe you need to be involved and a part of the mission to understand the impact JA has on our youth.  One of our 1st time JA volunteers shared his experience last school year.

"I admit, when I went into teaching my first Junior Achievement session of Personal Finance, it made me a little nervous. But, that immediately changed when I realized how comfortable I was with the students and the material. It was pretty amazing to see how interested the students were in the material!

I wanted to share my most memorable and rewarding experience which was when I was working with one student in particular who was very shy. In fact, the first day of class she did NOT want to speak at all. I worked closely with her to help her get more involved and within the first two classes she started to answer questions and enjoy the class with the rest of the students. By the end of the course she was the MOST involved and answered the MOST questions and I was very proud of her."

JA is set to reach more than 15,000 students this year in the Chippewa Valley and surrounding areas!  What if you truly help change their future?  What if you start today?
