  • Empowering Young People to Own Their Economic Success
    Empowering young people to own their economic success Mission Report 2012-2013 Inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Dear Partner, As our nation focuses its attention on ways to create jobs and spur economic growth, Junior Achievement (JA) continues to expand the depth and reach of its programs. We have done so by providing 149,500 young people with relevant, experiential learning opportunities centered on financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. JA’s unique approach relies on volunteers from the community who deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. The dynamic interaction between students, educators and volunteers promotes active learning while bringing theory to life. The JA experience establishes the foundation on which young people can build the skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in a fast-paced world. The case for JA has never been stronger and we are excited to build on the success of this past year with a focus for the future on the following: • Strengthen economic literacy by delivering elementary programs sequentially with school districts committed to long-term partnerships. • Accelerate growth of our high school programs to enhance student skills in financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. • Partner to reach students out of school, expanding the learning day and providing students with experiences that promote their roles as citizens, consumers and workers. • Grow our capstone programs (JA BizTown, JA Finance Park, JA Company Program, JA Job Shadow and JA Titan) to equip students with 21st century skills that will benefit them in the real world.

As a result, students in grades K-12 learned real-world skills that will help them succeed in school and beyond. Thank you! In light of the painful economic lessons recently learned by governments, families and businesses, there is an even greater need to educate our youth about how to effectively manage money and prepare for their future. JA programs teach 21st century skills and offer real-world experiences. In the coming year, JAUM is focusing on the following strategies to keep our organization relevant: • Integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers at JA BizTown and introduce STEM into our K-12 curriculum • Educate students of different backgrounds and ethnicities about financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship • Incorporate innovative teaching methods into our learning facility and into our curriculum such as smart board technology, video lessons and personal devices • Offer real-life experiences (job shadows, competitions, capstone projects) to expose students to opportunities beyond their classroom • Conduct local evaluations to validate learning and JAUM’s impact on student motivation As we embark on another exciting year, we look to you for continued support to help connect students with educators and business people to build a more fiscally savvy community.
