What does Junior Achievement do?
Junior Achievement inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy. Our programs teach K-12 students in Greater Washington crucial lessons about work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy: we prepare youth to enter the workforce, train them to become the next generation of business and non-profit leaders, and educate them about basic financial management and responsibility.
Why is Junior Achievement the right charity to donate to?
In these troubled economic times, it is clearer than ever that all members of society need to understand the basics of financial literacy in order to become prosperous and productive citizens. Junior Achievement has believed this since its founding in 1919, and currently teaches more than 9 million students a year about financial literacy. Junior Achievement will not simply be at the forefront of the recovery from the current economic crisis; we are the forefront of the recovery.
Why should you donate now?
The current financial crisis demonstrates that there is a vital and immediate need for financial literacy education. Though Junior Achievement reaches over 9 million students each year across the globe and over 40,000 students each year in Greater Washington, there are still countless K-12 students who grow up without the education that they both need and deserve to succeed in a global economy. Your donation will help rectify this. Your donation matters.
