During the 2014-2015 school year, 28,385 K-12 students experienced JA in 209 schools throughout southern Colorado. Junior Achievement is incorporating a blended learning approach into its programs, creating a scalable, relevant, and responsive student experience. By blending our current face-to-face approach with digital opportunities to access JA content, we can reach more students in more relevant ways that better accommodate students’ diverse learning styles and provide them with 21st century skills that will equip them to be successful in the global marketplace. Junior Achievement works strategically with its corporate, education and foundation partners, such as those you will see highlighted in this annual report, to prepare young people for success both in the workplace and in their personal lives. We do this by helping them connect the dots between what they learn in school and how to apply such after graduation. Whether it is showing students how to successfully apply for a job, manage their money, or how to start and grow a business that creates jobs and drives innovation, JA is there, thanks to our local business and education partners. We invite you to join us to achieve this important goal. Sincerely, Scott Shollenbarger Board Chair | Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado, Inc.
