My Nonprofit Reviews

Like many reviewers before me have said, JSA has truly changed my life for the better, and that is definitely not an exaggeration. As a high school student looking for an outlet to discuss the many issues of our world and also a student tired of being told what to do all the time, this organization encompassed everything I was looking for, and more. The Junior State of America has opportunities for every kind of person out there- new friendships, leadership opportunities with a range of responsibilities, and intelligent discussion and debate. But most of all, it provides an outlet for students to be self-sufficient, something that many kids are lacking when they go off to college or the real world. Students run almost every aspect of JSA, from weekly chapter meetings to major conventions, and even nationwide activism projects.
I joined JSA my freshman year and am in my third year, and I couldn't imagine my high school career without it. I know I've changed as a person for the better because of JSA, and I've surprised myself with what I could accomplish because of what JSA has pushed me to do. I'm so thankful that I have this year and the next left to continue being active and will cherish it, because I know that this experience is something that I'll never be able to have again.
This entire review page is a testament to how much of an impact JSA has on students now and later in life, and some day I hope that the majority of students in the United States get to experience JSA and have their life changed, just as many of us have.
