Junior Achievement Inspires Young People to Succeed

Terry Billen (L), Event and Communications Manager for Junior Achievement Oklahoma, was our speaker just before Christmas break. She brought a program describing the many programs that Junior Achievement offers to students, K - 12, introducing the business world into the classroom and empowering the students through exciting hands-on learning experiences. 

Junior Achievement of Oklahoma will inspire over 56,000 students statewide during the 2015-2016 school year. 

JA empowers young people to own their economic success. Their programs educate young people to value free enterprise, business and economics through the support of teachers, parents, and volunteers in the classroom. JA provides hands-on experiences to help young people understand how the real-world works.

In partnership with business and educators, JA helps educate students in personal finance and practical workplace skills, preparing them to pursue their careers as well as their dreams.
