Information about Junior Achievement - Lincoln
Giving Lincoln students the tools to succeed, one classroom at a time.
By the time they’re ready to graduate, the average student can solve a geometric equation… but can he balance a checkbook? She’s read Shakespeare… but does she know how to manage a credit card? He knows all the planets in the solar system… but does he know the steps involved in starting a business?
For 40 years, Junior Achievement of Lincoln has been working to make sure that Lincoln’s students can say “Yes!” Volunteer businesspeople from the community are equipped with cutting-edge curriculum, and then sent into classrooms to provide students with their real-world knowledge and experience. As early as kindergarten, students are learning about saving for a rainy day. By high school, they’re designing business plans.
This school year alone, more than 600 community volunteers have taken JA curriculum to hundreds of classrooms in and around Lincoln, impacting thousands of students. By introducing them to financial literacy, money management, entrepreneurship, and business ethics, they’re helping to ensure the future success and vitality of Lincoln.
Over 161,000 Lincoln young people have participated in JA activities over more than 40 years. Lincoln JA has evolved from a single program for 250 high school students to a multitude of activities annually involving nearly 15,000 young people in 72 public and parochial elementary, middle and high schools throughout Lancaster County, Cass, Saunders, York and Nemaha counties.
But JA Lincoln isn’t alone in our dedication to the leaders of tomorrow. JA Worldwide® (JA) is a partnership between the business community, educators and volunteers, all working together to inspire young people to dream big and reach their potential. JA’s hands-on experiential programs teach the key concepts of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy to young people all of over the world.
JA operations are found in 139 U.S. cities and more than 100 countries. (http://jalincoln.org/about-us/)
