JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE

JA Impact Campaign

Debra Grimes's Fundraising Page

Ignoring a child's future is no way to live in the present!

If you're aware of Junior Achievement, you may already know that JA teaches kids about business - but it also does much more.  It readies them as human beings...with foundational knowledge thay will need for tomorrow's global workforce and also with an inquisiveness and zest for learning that will simply make them more rounded human beings.

JA doesn't just teach kids.  It tranforms them.

A study shows that before a fifth grade simulated financial community called JA Biztown -

  • 97% of the kids believed that school doesn't matter
  • 0% felt it was important to graduate from high school
  • 0% thought they would attend college
  • 28% thought they were good at figuring out problems
  • 40% thought they worked well in a group

After their experience at JA -

  • 8% of the kids believed that school doesn't matter
  • 95% felt it was important to graduate from high school
  • 88% thought they would attend college
  • 88% though they were good at figuring out problems
  • 93% thought  they worked well in a group

Realize the implications of today by helping shape our children's readiness for tomorrow.

Thank You.
