My Nonprofit Reviews

The Junior Statesmen of America has been the single, greatest part of my high school experience. In addition to teaching me that my opinion matters far beyond the classroom, it has reinforced the idea that my opinion will shape the future. JSA has taught me many things outside of our mission statement, to make students more politically active. It has blessed me with life-long friends and life lessons that could not be learned anywhere but in this great, student-run organization. Through my time with this organization, I have encountered many other young adults who have had experiences similar to mine. As I'm sure the other reviews of JSA on this page could show, each student gets different things out of their time with the organization. A common theme, however, seems to be that they felt more open to the world; JSA was their key to experiencing their life, whether in educational or political or social capacities, more fully. Every student should be lucky enough to experience JSA, be it at a one day, or overnight convention, or at a summer program. I am truly blessed to be associated with and dedicate my time to this organization, and I could not imagine my life without it.
