I bet one time or another in your life, you or someone you know has been checking your finances, filing taxes, or budgeting for something, and said "this is the kind of thing they should teach in schools!" Well, it may not be a traditional "school," but Junior Acheivement is powered by volunteers and staff who teach those very things. With hands on programs like Finance Park, BizTown, the Stock Market Challenge, JA Company Program, and more, students and youth in our community are empowered to own their future success.  

Did you know that a majority of funding for JA’s programs comes from philanthropic support from community members like you? April kicks off Financial Literacy Month, help us continue to teach financial literacy to the next generation of leaders!

By participating, you’ll support programs like:

• JA BizTown – Elementary students step into the world of business through a mini-city simulation, building their foundational knowledge of their local economy.
• JA Finance Park – Students become prepared to manage their personal finances and make smart money decisions through a budgeting simulation.
• JA Fellows – High school juniors and seniors receive mentorship and participate in career exploration and paid employment experiences, serving as a stepping stone for future success.

Junior Achievement of San Diego is part of a global non-profit organization with a foundation of stellar volunteers who share their own life experiences to students and deliver immersive learning experiences in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.

Together, we can inspire local youth to dream big and achieve economic mobility. Join Junior Achievement and I in empowering young people to build the confidence, develop the skills, and grow the professional networks they need to succeed in the modern world. 

Will you join me today in donating? Your gift - no amount is too small! - equips local San Diego youth with the skills and mindset to own their future economic success.
