Junior Achievement (JA) is a non-profit organization providing volunteer-based programs to help students in Kindergarten through High School understand the world of business and personal finance - concepts that will help them become financially responsible and prepared for the workforce. These programs are provided free to over 37,000 Connecticut students The Hartford and its employees have been supporting JA for more than a decade and this year. I will be participating in The Hartford's Bowl-A-Thon event this year to help contribute to this great program.
