Speaker: Adriane Dudley
Adriane Dudley spoke about the VI Jr. Achievement Program. It helps high school and middle school students learn more about business and finance. High school students form teams and create a corporation and product, then compete with other teams. They use 2 volunteers from the community to help instruct the teams. Fifth grade students are offered instruction on balancing a check book and other basic skills to get them ready for the High School teams later. They are looking for volunteers for both programs. Their website is jausvi.org.
