JA helps students realize that the education they are getting today will help them to have a bright future tomorrow. JA's unique, volunteer delivered programs, show them all of the possibilities that lay before them. They realize they can choose different paths; College? A specific trade? Start their own business?
I participated in JA while in high school. It instilled in me the entrepreneurial spirit that led me to where I am today. Children today will be responsible for our care; for running businesses and the country. I want them to have every opportunity available for success…our future depends on it.
