Play4JA encompasses the JA Bowl-a-thon and JA Virtual Trivia Bowl, which give metro Denver companies the opportunity to host a fun teambuilding event, while supporting JA’s efforts to provide learning experiences that motivate K-12th grade students to learn how to manage a budget, start a business, and pursue a career that pays a living wage.  100% of funds raised through these events enable JA to provide these incredibly effective programs at no cost to schools or students. 

 

Together, we are equipping Colorado students with learning experiences that lead to increased levels of employability, job satisfaction, and income.  This effort is more important than ever, as students face daunting headwinds in regard to hyper-inflation, increasing interest rates, and international economic instability.
