Do you ever wonder if the kids in school today are learning the skills they need to make sound financial decisions, to interact with businesses, or to turn their ideas into a business of their own? Chances are, most are not taught the skills they need in school. Schools can barely keep up with the basics of education.

That's where Junior Achievement programs step in. Starting as early as kindergarten and early primary school, JA provides programs to teach kids the basics of finances and business. As kids approach high school, JA programs teach work skills, interviewing, and the skills needed to function in a business environment.

We need your help. Junior Achievement leverages donations from people just like you and me into educational programs and materials for classrooms right here in the Greater Houston Area (well over 750 square miles!) If you can give $20, $50, or even $100, JA can turn your donation into skills programs for multiple classrooms and grade levels. Join me in supporting Junior Achievement!
