Dear Friends,

We are proud to say that Junior Achievement of Arizona has completed its 57th successful year of educating our youth on entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness! I would like to thank our incredible board of directors, donors, volunteers, educator partners and staff for helping us reach 96,125 students last year.

With more than 1 million students in our K-12 education system, there is a tremendous need to prepare them for the future. We need to continue to advocate for the importance of teaching our future leaders about work and money. After all, education is about preparing a child to succeed in the real world, so they can find the best careers and make enough money to live their version of the American Dream.

We have served 1.5 million students since our founding and continue to play an important role in Arizona’s workforce and economic development. Through our programs, Junior Achievement is an integral component to our college and career readiness conversation. Career-ready, financially savvy students become adults who will create and run a vibrant economy for their children and future generations.

Our goal is to reach 150,000 kids annually by 2020. Together, we can prepare young people to own their economic success, which benefits all of us for years to come.

Are you in? We invite you to join us on this critical mission.

With Gratitude,

Joyce Richards Joseph GelinasPresident Retired SRP executive, State Board Chair

My name is Nicholas Welthy. I just recently graduated from Highland High School and will attend American University in the fall of 2014. I was introduced to Junior Achievement of Arizona at the beginning of my junior year through the JA You’re Hired! and JA Economics programs. The JA You’re Hired! Program was developed in Arizona and has three consecutive components that you can participate in. The first one is the classroom instruction component which matches experienced professionals who work in the business sector to participating classrooms to teach career related skills.

The second component is the JA You’re Hired! Challenge. During this one day event, students from schools across Arizona compete in numerous workshops and competitions that teach them essential work readiness skills.

Lastly, out of the hundreds of students that participate only a few get chosen to compete for a space in the Professional Development Internship Program. Selected students have an opportunity to interview for the internships.

This organization has not only allowed me to acquire 3 internships, it taught me that success isn’t brought about by how many friends you have or if you graduated last or first in your class. Success manifests itself in the people that push toward a goal. Life isn’t about how much you get paid or how expensive your car is. It’s about becoming the best version of you that you can be! And I will be forever grateful to JA for teaching me that!

To Whom It May Concern:

As Mayor of the City of Tempe, I want to reach out to you about two important issues concerning our youth today financial literacy and work readiness and an important organization right here in our community that is training the next generation workforce.

Today, students are growing up in a more globalized and complex economic climate than ever before and many do not have the skills necessary to compete for the best jobs or manage the economics of life. The need to educate our

ut a ut nan ia itera and r readiness is at an a ti e ig

That’s where Junior Achievement of Arizona comes in.

in e e e ased uni r ieve ent as een a e art ur unit s e n i and r r e deve ent he nonprofit

organization teaches children – kindergarten through high school – about financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work readiness, so they learn how to connect what they learn in the classroom to what they could earn in the workforce. And, almost 60 percent of the kids Junior Achievement serves are from low-income backgrounds.

The agency teaches more than 95,000 students each year. In fact, my daughters went through Junior Achievement’s BizTown, an experiential program that teaches fi th and si th graders how to run businesses, manage employees and learn budgeting, and it was a great learning experience. It’s one of the reasons that I can speak to the success of this organization.

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls

and looks like work.”–�omas Edison

April 30, 2014

To Whom It May Concern:

As Mayor of the City of Tempe, I want to reach out to you about two important issues concerning our youth today financial literacy and work readiness and an important organization right here in our community that is training the next generation workforce.

Today, students are growing up in a more globalized and complex economic climate than ever before and many do not have the skills necessary to compete for the best jobs or manage the economics of life. The need to educate our

ut a ut nan ia itera and r readiness is at an a ti e ig

That’s where Junior Achievement of Arizona comes in.

in e e e ased uni r ieve ent as een a e art ur unit s e n i and r r e deve ent he nonprofit

organization teaches children – kindergarten through high school – about financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work readiness, so they learn how to connect what they learn in the classroom to what they could earn in the workforce. And, almost 60 percent of the kids Junior Achievement serves are from low-income backgrounds.

The agency teaches more than 95,000 students each year. In fact, my daughters went through Junior Achievement’s BizTown, an experiential program that teaches fi th and si th graders how to run businesses, manage employees and learn budgeting, and it was a great learning experience. It’s one of the reasons that I can speak to the success of this organization.

uni r ieve ent ri na is t e g d standard in nan ia itera and work readiness education, and I encourage you to learn more about its

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

–Benjamin Franklin

My name is Nicholas Welthy. I just recently graduated from Highland High School and will attend American University in the fall of 2014. I was introduced to Junior Achievement of Arizona at the beginning of my junior year through the JA You’re Hired! and JA Economics programs. The JA You’re Hired! Program was developed in Arizona and has three consecutive components that you can participate in. The first one is the classroom instruction component which matches experienced professionals who work in the business sector to participating classrooms to teach career related skills.

The second component is the JA You’re Hired! Challenge. During this one day event, students from schools across Arizona compete in numerous workshops and competitions that teach them essential work readiness skills.

Lastly, out of the hundreds of students that participate only a few get chosen to compete for a space in the Professional Development Internship Program. Selected students have an opportunity to interview for the internships.

This organization has not only allowed me to acquire 3 internships, it taught me that success isn’t brought about by how many friends you have or if you graduated last or first in your class. Success manifests itself in the people that push toward a goal. Life isn’t about how much you get paid or how expensive your car is. It’s about becoming the best version of you that you can be! And I will be forever grateful to JA for teaching me that!

“Success manifests itself in the people that push toward a goal.”

Dear Friends,

We are proud to say that Junior Achievement of Arizona has completed its 57th successful year of educating our youth on entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness! I would like to thank our incredible board of directors, donors, volunteers, educator partners and staff for helping us reach 96,125 students last year.

With more than 1 million students in our K-12 education system, there is a tremendous need to prepare them for the future. We need to continue to advocate for the importance of teaching our future leaders about work and money. After all, education is about preparing a child to succeed in the real world, so they can find the best careers and make enough money to live their version of the American Dream.

We have served 1.5 million students since our founding and continue to play an important role in Arizona’s workforce and economic development. Through our programs, Junior Achievement is an integral component to our college and career readiness conversation. Career-ready, financially savvy students become adults who will create and run a vibrant economy for their children and future generations.

Our goal is to reach 150,000 kids annually by 2020. Together, we can prepare young people to own their economic success, which benefits all of us for years to come.

Are you in? We invite you to join us on this critical mission.

With Gratitude,

Joyce Richards Joseph GelinasPresident Retired SRP executive, State Board Chair
