A n nual Report 2 0 0 0 • 2 0 0 1 Let Their Success Be Your Inspiration!SM www.ja.org Purpose Junior Achievement educates and inspires young people to value free enterprise, business, and economics to improve the quality of their lives. Mission Junior Achievement will ensure that every child in America has a fundamental understanding of the free enterprise system. Basic Beliefs Integrity Respect Excellence Leadership The future, due to events of this past year, has been changed dramatically both within the Junior Achievement family and its extended family, our great nation. But though hard times may follow moments of drastic change, we know that as a strong organization we have the freedom and hope to build upon the past for an even brighter future. As the organization whose mission it is to ensure that every child in America has a fundamental under- standing of the free enterprise system, we have a considerably meaningful role in ensuring and continuing the fortitude of our nation. Our role of teaching young people to understand and respect the free enterprise system that has made America great will help instill a sense of patriotism and unity in those young people. If they love and understand the way their country works, they can more easily feel that patriotic sense of obligation needed to unite all Americans. Junior Achievement plays a fundamental role in developing and nurturing strong, intelligent leaders. It is about kids, it is about free enterprise, it is about America, it is about community, and it is about education. Last year JA programs reached more than four million students in urban, suburban, and rural areas across the United States and an additional 1.75 million international students in 112 countries around the world. We are proud to help lead this organization. We are anticipating a future filled with new people, new pro- grams, and new resources. And, we are delighted to be working with you to impact our children and teach them the important lessons that will make them confident, self-sufficient citizens of our country. We are certain that we will move ahead, as one powerful unified force, to help kids understand and appre- ciate our free enterprise system. Together, we will do remarkable things for the young people of America. David S. Chernow William M. Freeman President & CEO Chairman of the Board Junior Achievement Inc. Junior Achievement Inc.
