It has been a long two years to say the least. Some of you might be wondering where Junior Achievement of Chicago has been while others have participated in our virtual events. These past two years might seem like JA has been quiet, but the reality is that we have been busy impacting students and empowering them to be the best versions of themselves.
Junior Achievement has soared, opening up new opportunities for volunteers to inspire students. As this new school year begins, Junior Achievement and schools are eager to bring volunteers into the classroom.
Earlier this week you might have received an from Junior Achievement of Chicago highlighting all opportunities within the organization. Below are the up and coming in person events that are just for Northwest Indiana. We have links to the flyers for more information. But as always, you can contact your favorite Northwest Indiana Team!
We look forward to seeing you this school year and having you plant seeds to help create a brighter future for all of us!
