Junior Achievement inspires and prepares young people to succeed in the global economy. JA’s Circle of Impact is reserved for companies or individuals who prefer to support Junior Achievement in the form of a donation vs. a sponsorship. They make it possible for Junior Achievement (JA) to meet the increased program demands received from our local school districts and allow us to provide young people with the real-world skills they want and need, like how to manage money, and how to prepare for college or a career.
Thanks to our Sponsor:
We are extremely thankful to the generosity of the T.L.L. Temple Foundation, who funds many of our high school initiatives, and to the E.L. Kurth Jr. Charitable Foundation, who funds many of our Elementary and Middle School initiatives.
Special
Thanks
