Junior Achievement has Online Resources for Parents and Teachers

Junior Achievement is providing free online resources to teachers and parents/guardians for Kindergarten through 12th grade students. Programs can be requested at www.jastl.org.

How you can help:

Share: the website link with teachers, parents, friends, and through social media. The more the word gets out about these resources, the better JA will be able to support those who can use them the most.

Give: Help JA during this time by sponsoring students at www.jastl.org/donate-now . JA is still reaching students at no cost to educators and parents.

Impact: Junior Achievement’s impact is lasting. In a recent study conducted by a team at Washington University, of those adults who were in Junior Achievement as students:

• 97% graduated high school with a GED or higher

• 68% have a four-year bachelor degree or higher

• 40% are involved with business ownership

• 98% are confident in managing their money
