Whole School Sponsors

Junior Achievement of Chicago is proud to serve as the bridge between corporation and schools. Thousands of small businesses in the greater Chicago area, for example, make an impact on the children of their communities by sponsoring classrooms. However, a number of corporate and academic interests have expressed their desire to do more. Our "Whole School" approach allows companies, community-minded organizations, colleges, universities, and sometimes entire towns to directly sponsor all of the classes at a particular school, or series of schools.

Started right here in Chicago as a modest pilot program, the approach has taken off in recent years. In fact, the "Whole School" approach is now being implemented by JA offices nationwide. To get involved in this exciting program, please contact the JA of Chicago office.
