Kick Off the New School Year by Supporting JA Students

Dear JA Supporter,

As summer winds down and students across Greater New Orleans and South Mississippi return to the classroom, Junior Achievement (JA) is gearing up for another exciting school year filled with opportunities to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders. With your support, we can continue to provide vital educational programs that teach young people about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship—skills that are essential for their future success.

For nearly 70 years, Junior Achievement has been at the forefront of preparing young people to navigate the complexities of the modern economy. Our programs, from JA BizTown to the Trust Your Crazy Ideas Challenge, offer hands-on, real-world learning experiences that equip students with the tools they need to succeed in school, in their careers, and in life.

It is through the generosity of donors like you that we can reach more students, expand our programs, and adapt to the ever-changing needs of our community. As we kick off this new school year, we are asking for your support to ensure that every student can participate in JA’s life-changing programs.

Your donation to Junior Achievement goes directly to supporting programs that make a tangible difference in the lives of young people. Here’s how your gift can help:

·       $50 can help provide materials for a classroom to participate in a JA Day program.

·       $100 can sponsor a student’s full participation in JA BizTown, where they’ll learn how a city operates and the importance of teamwork and leadership.

·       $250 can help support a classroom’s participation in JA’s career exploration programs, helping students discover their passions and potential career paths.

·       $500 can help fund the development of new program content that addresses emerging the skills post-secondary youth need to succeed.

By investing in our students today, you are helping to build a stronger, more vibrant community for tomorrow. Every dollar you contribute will help us reach more students, provide more opportunities, and make a greater impact.

Giving is easy and every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. You can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring gift to provide ongoing support throughout the school year.

To donate, simply click here or visit our website at www.jagno.org and select the "Donate" option.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the mission of Junior Achievement. Together, we can make this school year the best one yet for our students.
Be sure to stay connected with us throughout the year by following us on social media. We’ll be sharing success stories, upcoming events, and opportunities to get involved.

Here’s to a great school year ahead and thank you for being a champion for our students!

Sincerely,

The Junior Achievement of Greater New Orleans Team
