My Nonprofit Reviews

I have been fortunate enough to volunteer with Junior Achievement for several years. My involvement with Biz Town as well as high school activities has been enormously rewarding. JA has a very visible, positive impact on the students who participate in their events. Watching a 5th grader gain confidence and experience while participating in a micro-economy exercise at Biz Town is so rewarding. The practical knowledge shared with high school seniors during Junior Achievement budgeting exercises shows them real world scenarios on the choices they will face as they leave home and deal with managing day to day finances.

Junior Achievement has developed an effective approach of communicating real world knowledge to students at many levels. It is immensely rewarding to the volunteers who choose to participate as well. I look forward to my continued involvement with this great nonprofit and have become an active recruiter for volunteers in my community.
