 "I wholeheartedly support the importance of education and personal development,

especially in areas like financial literacy. Junior Achievement caught my attention

because of its dedication to equipping young people with practical business skills

through its robust curriculum and after-school programs. Recognizing the immense

value of early exposure to these concepts, I was compelled to volunteer my time and

expertise to contribute to this cause." -Scott Wilson

 

SUCCESSFUL SUMMER PROGRAMS

Recently, JA THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENEUR was presented at the Franklin Public Library.  Teens were given the opportunity to interact and learn about the mindset and the skills needed for success by aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators, enabling opportunity identification, innovation, value creation, and problem-solving.

JA COMPANY PROGRAM POP-UP SESSION II was held at the Franklin-Springboro Public Library
Teens were given the chance to form companies and participate in JA Company Program Pop Up.  These successful entrepreneurs raised $250 selling popcorn for the Friends of the Franklin-Springboro Public Library!

Thank you to the Springboro branch of the Franklin-Springboro Public Library and their staff as well as all the volunteers that made these sessions possible:
