Junior Achievement is a global not-for-profit organization. Their purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. This is accomplished through the dedication of volunteers from businesses and the community, who volunteer their time to teach the JA programs. All programs are age-appropriate and regularly evaluated. They range from a kindergarten program with colorful read-alouds and piggy banks to high school programs that teach budgeting, investment basics and wise credit usage. Volunteers from HSBC, trained by JA staff, taught first grade classes today at South Street School. The "Our Familes" program supported our first grade social studies curriculum.
