Mentoring is an easy way to make a real difference in the life of a child. This month, we are spotlighting various mentoring organizations in order to encourage everyone to share their knowledge and love to instill Dignity & Respect in the next generation.
This week we are showcasing Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to developing career readiness and a healthy work ethic in young people, as well as encouraging enthusiasm about entrepreneurship.
Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
JA’s unique approach allows volunteers from the community to deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. Embodying the heart of JA, our 382,637 classroom volunteers transform the key concepts of our lessons into a message that inspires and empowers students to believe in themselves, showing them they can make a difference in the world.
