Morgan Pottinger McGarvey recently hosted the firm’s annual Play4JA Throwing Axes event in support of Junior Achievement of Kentuckiana. The event raised $1,200 for Junior Achievement programs and will support 20 students attending BizTown or Finance Park to gain invaluable skills for their future.
Junior Achievement’s proven lessons in financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship are shown to positively impact the lives of young people. These lessons align with national and state educational standards and are delivered to millions of students across the country with the help of education partners and volunteers from the local community.
Research shows that JA Alumni are more likely to have a college degree, feel confident managing money, have career success, and have started a business as an adult.
Junior Achievement has over 100 local JA Areas across the nation, and together, JA is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic choices.
