“My favorite part of interning at JA BizTown was the interactions with the students. Each week as the students learned, I learned right along with them. From the checkbook meetings to opening a savings account, there was always more for me to learn. Working at JA BizTown exceeded all of my expectations.” ~ Deja R., JA Intern & Columbus City High School Student

“I always had fun participating in Junior Achievement but over time, I realized that it was much more than just having fun. I was learning so many life skills, most of which I wouldn’t have learned in a regular classroom.” ~ Jack W., New Albany High School Student

At JA BizTown Summer Camp, more kids than ever had the opportunity to unleash their “Inner Super Biz Kid.” With enrollment doubling from last year, 145 campers learned firsthand what it’s like to work in a job and run a business.

JA BizTown Summer Camp extends the school-year JA BizTown model to a one-week experience in an indoor, academic environment that combines classroom-style teaching with hands-on activities. Camp programming stresses the importance of teamwork and collaboration through working together on group projects.

Our popular JA BizTown Summer Camp continues to grow! After planned sessions quickly sold out

in January, a third session was added to meet registration requests.

Junior Achievement’s longest-running program, JA Company Program®, is back with a bang! JA Company Program is all new and updated with 13 new modular experiences to share with today’s teen entrepreneurs.

Partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of Columbus, we launched the updated program with a blended-learning approach that offers high school students the opportunity to understand the steps involved in launching their own businesses while learning the basics of entrepreneurship, financial literacy and business success.

Working with mentors from the business community, students had the opportunity to flex their entrepreneurial muscles and experience firsthand the challenges and rewards of running a business startup.

Armed with initial seed funding, students worked collaboratively to identify a consumer need and then to create and execute a business plan to develop, market, and sell an original product meeting that need. Their real-world experience helped them understand and build entrepreneurial skills in leadership, marketing and sales, financial management, and supply chain management. Demonstrate the Create a personal Exhibit the necessary fundamental acumen needed action plan skills and proficiency The success of this partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs in a successful business incorporating with applicable tools of Columbus has set the stage for both expansion of startup, including leadership, entrepreneurial thinking, needed to be the JA Company Program, as well as the introduction of marketing, sales, financial innovation and other competitive in today’s elementary and middle school programs in a new after- management, and supply 21st century career global knowledge school model. chain management. readiness skills. economy.

“My experience being president of a company program has been very valuable. I realized the challenges that are faced by company leaders on a daily basis. You find out very quickly who you can rely on, who is a hard worker, which people need a little motivation. Luckily, everyone in the company was fully invested in our mission.” ~ Cole M., Jackson High School Student

Across Central Ohio, JA alumni are paying it forward and giving back

Who knows and understands an organization better than someone with first-hand experience? JA alumni have been involved with Junior Achievement earlier in their lives and have had positive, rewarding results.

JA alumni believe in the organization’s mission of inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. What Junior Achievement USA has discovered through its interactions with JA alumni all across the country is that JA alumni share a deep connection to JA—and, they want to “pay it forward.”

Junior Achievement alumni serve on local boards of directors as well as the Junior Achievement USA Board of Directors. Committed alumni return to the classroom and volunteer to teach JA programs with gifts of their time. JA alumni make generous financial gifts so they can continue to see JA programs in their community grow and expand. But perhaps most importantly, JA alumni remember their JA experience and how it helped propel them to success.

At Junior Achievement of Central Ohio, Executive Board Member and Chair-Elect Dwight Smith is a proud JA alumnus. Dwight credits the significant influence of his early JA experiences in shaping his future career goals and says, “Actively participating in JA while in high school had a TREMENDOUS impact on how I viewed entrepreneurship and a career in business as a student. The JA experience, past and present, continues to be very enjoyable and a wonderful opportunity to serve the youth of our community.”

“JA has given me the drive, passion, and ambition to be that change that I wish to see in the world.” ~ ~ Ashley M., JA Alumna

“My JA BizTown experience was phenomenal! It taught me how to be

responsible at an early age in life and it taught me how to work well

with others and manage a business without going bankrupt.” ~ BreAnna W., Avalon Elementary School Student

“When my students return from a day at JA BizTown they have made a memory and experienced an event that will stay them forever.”

~ Dee Anna Chickerella, Dublin City Schools Educator

Veteran Dublin elementary school teacher Dee Anna Chickerella was recognized at the Central Ohio Business Hall of Fame as JACO’s Educator of the Year. Dee Anna has been a strong supporter of JA programming for decades, and still bursts with pride when sharing stories of her students’ experiences. Her class was one of the first to participate in JA BizTown, for which she personally contributed to the curriculum and lesson design.

Dee Anna now serves on JACO’s Board of Directors, bringing a unique perspective and important voice to the table with JACO’s formal leadership.

Also recognized at the event was JACO’s Volunteer of the Year, Jack Frencho. As a JA In-Class volunteer for several years, Jack’s experience as a wealth management advisor at U.S. Bank has brought him equal success with students. His ability to recognize and deliver to the unique needs of each of his classrooms has made him not just an instructor to his students, but a true mentor as well.

Jack has also served as a guest trainer, helping prepare new volunteers for their experience in the classroom. He has actively recruited new volunteers and has spoken about his JA experience during training events, and now serves on JACO’s newly formed Volunteer Committee.

Sponsored by Pepper Construction of th Ohio, the 6 Annual Casino Night benefiting Junior Achievement of Central Ohio ended the school year on a high note. One of our strongest fundraising efforts, this event continues to grow year after year, thanks to the leadership and hard work of JACO Board Member Paul Francois and his team at Pepper Construction.

And what a night it was! More than 180 high rollers tried their hand at poker, roulette, and other popular casino games, enjoying a great evening while raising $90,000 in support of our mission to inspire and prepare young people for success in their careers and in life. Thank you, Pepper Construction of Ohio!
