Agency Details
Junior Achievement of Western CT
Through Junior Achievement financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship programs, delivered by volunteers, students connect classroom learning with real life. This allows them to recognize the value of staying in school, improving their chance to pursue a high education. Additionally, the knowledge students acquire from Junior Achievement will enable them to manage their finances, develop in-demand job skills and understand entrepreneurship. Consequently, as adults, they will be more likely to buy homes responsibly, obtain good jobs, and start and run businesses effectively, which will create new jobs and stimulate economic growth. At Junior Achievement of Western CT, we envision a prosperous future for our students and our community, and we invite you to be a part of it. It’s more than just being able to balance a checkbook, compare prices or get a job; it also includes skills like long-term vision and planning for the future, and the discipline to use those skills every day.
