Have you heard? St. Cloud Crush Interact has received their official club charter from Rotary International! Please join our Rotary family in person or on zoom on February 1st from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Park Event Center (500 Division Street, Waite Park) to celebrate this recognition with their club and our local Rotary & Interact clubs. We will be welcoming the Tech and Apollo students who have started a new chapter in our local and district Rotary history. Let’s gather to celebrate and honor these young leaders and their parents!

Junior Achievement North – St. Cloud area prepares students to be the leaders of tomorrow. JA teaches students in grades K-12 about money management, how to prepare for college and a career, and how to start businesses that create jobs and strengthen our economy.

Interested in furthering the JA mission?

1. We are in need of 150 volunteers this spring to teach JA programs in local K-12 classrooms. Can you spare less than an hour as little as once a week? As a JA volunteer, you will visit a classroom for five in-person sessions (30-45 minutes each). All materials and training are provided by JA and come with step-by-step instructions to ensure that your volunteer experience is positive and rewarding. Bonus, you get to spend a little more time with your favorite student and their classmates! No previous experience is needed. You can explore the programs we offer here or you can reach out to erin.brum@janorth.org for a current list of local classrooms in need of a volunteer. Ready to jump in? Complete our volunteer registration form!
