Calling JA Alumni
|
|
In JA's continuing
effort to measure the impact of its programs, JA Worldwide is
engaging in a retrospective survey aimed at capturing data from
former Junior Achievement students regarding the long-term outcomes
and sequential-learning benefits of JA. So if you have participated
as a student in JA programs in the past, we ask that you consider
taking the survey which consists of 20 questions and takes
approximately 10 minutes to complete. Go here to take the
survey.

Financial Literacy Impact of
JA Worldwide is
committed to ongoing, rigorous evaluations and quality assurance of all
Junior Achievement programs. In the past five years, JA Worldwide's
investment of student outcomes research has exceeded $3.1 million.
As one of three
pillars upon which the JA programs are built, financial literacy
education has never been more critical than it is today. Recent
independent evaluations confirm that Junior Achievement has the right
programs at the right time to address the financial literacy needs of
our nation. Across numerous evaluations, evidence is clear that
Junior Achievement programs equip youth with the financial knowledge
and skills necessary to make informed financial choices.
Students who participate in Junior Achievement's financial literacy
programs are much more prepared than their peers to manage their
personal finances. Increasing the number of students who are
offered the opportunity to participate in these meaningful programs
will further prepare tomorrow's leaders to successfully participate
in a global economy.

interested in volunteering to help students better understand the
economics of life, please contact Bernandette Byrd, Programs Team Leader, at
