Dear Friends,

Junior Achievement of Rhode Island (JARI) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.  Through a dedicated volunteer network, JA provides in-school and after-school programs for students in grades K-12 that focus on the three content areas of workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.

Some key facts about JARI include:
 

• It only costs 10 cents per day or $36.50 per year to provide a student a JA experience.
• 82% of students felt they had more awareness of career options available to them.
• 82% of students said JA made them understand the importance of staying in school.
• 89% of students reported that the confidently understood the concept of successfully managing money.

With your help, we can ensure that no child is turned away from a JARI program.  Your contribution will help JARI continue to provide these important programs at no charge to Rhode Island schools. Even a modest contribution can make a real difference for children in our community.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Lee Lewis
President
