Chairman’s Letter

Dear Stakeholder:

Since 1954, Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado, Inc. has been at the forefront of economic education. What started out as a single after-school club has mushroomed into sequential, integrated programming spanning the entire K-12 curricula. Today, Junior Achievement, working in partnership with more than 200 local schools, offers 19 programs which focus on entrepreneurship, financial literacy and workforce readiness. What makes Junior Achievement so unique is that all of the programs are taught by local business and community volunteers.

Junior Achievement’s mission of inspiring young people to value our free enterprise system is more important today than at any time in our history. Future economic prosperity depends on our ability to foster the economic system that has become the global leader in economic output. The wealth creation process is at the core of our ability to pass on higher standards of living to the next generation. We need to embrace both success and failure as stepping stones to long-term success. Most of all, we need to hold true to our values that above all else, opportunity needs to be preserved as a cornerstone of our foundational teachings.

As you read through the 2010 Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado, Inc. Annual Report, we ask that you take a minute to ask yourself whether or not you are doing all you can to make sure today’s young people understand and value our American Free Enterprise System. Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado, Inc. has in place a network that delivers economic knowledge. We invite you to join our network.

Sincerely,

Junior AchievemenPt ProgRrams OGRAMS

Elementary Students in kindergarten through fifth grade are introduced to basic personal economic issues, and the role of families and social responsibility in the local economy. They examine planning decisions in a city, economic resources within states and regions, and how businesses need workers who can meet the demands of the job market. The After-School Program teaches personal financial and business skills through innovative and fun activities. The JA curriculum is designed to tie closely with state standards. Middle School Already focusing on the importance of school and career, programs in sixth, seventh and eighth grade encompass business values and decisions while reinforcing the concepts of entrepreneurship and international trade. High School As students’ interests and needs mature, the classroom focus turns to how economics relate to their lives. They learn basic financial planning, workplace ethics and skills such as budgeting and investing. And through a sophisticated online simulation, many get first-hand experience in running a virtual business. JA volunteers provide positive adult role models and lead students toward workforce readiness.
