Step Up to Junior Achievement!

In our own neighborhoods, students are failing to live up to their potential, leaving school unprepared for the workforce or higher education, and are at-risk for struggling with their jobs, and financial debt. Instead of sitting back and waiting for the situation to improve, you have stepped up to create solutions helping to prepare kids for their successful futures.

The demand for the programs far outweighs the means to provide in these difficult times. The non-profit world as a whole continues to struggle to keep afloat, continue to service the community, working to recover from a very financially strapped few years. Your donation will continue to support the Junior Achievement’s educational programs that have benefited over 260,000 children in the Hudson Valley and will help continue our mission to inspire and educate young people to be successful in a global economy.

Through our focus on financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship, we can equip future generations with the knowledge and motivation to step up to their own success. Rather than settling for less, these students will be better equipped to be the leaders and innovators with the entrepreneurial spirit. Instead of sliding into a lifetime of debt, they will be making better financial decisions for stability. With Junior Achievement at the helm, anything is possible, and these students can step up to success.

At the end of the 2010-2011 school year, our school outreach was 10,838 students in schools throughout Westchester, Rockland and Orange County. Join us in educating and inspiring young people with an investment in their successful future.

Thank you in advance for making a difference in children’s lives!
