My Nonprofit Reviews

JA is an amazing program for a couple of reasons. It provides a solution to a known, and important, gap in our formal education in the United States, to teach children about the importance of strong financial habits, and the economy. It helps children to build independence and, specifically in Biz Town, an understanding about being a part of the workforce that is hard to learn in the classroom. The programs, JA in a Day and Biz Town, teach financial, economic, and business lessons in a fun and enjoyable way, and watching the students enjoy learning about those topics makes me happy to be a part of developing their future as bright, engaged members of the workforce. In addition to those programs JA also encourages diversity and inclusion through their conferences and other programs, which is another important aspect of a strong economy. Finally, JA focuses resources on STEM and entrepreneurial skills, which have for a long time been the bedrock of American business, and it is refreshing to see a focus on teaching those skills to children. I am proud to be able to support an organization that makes learning these topics fun for children.
