Why Junior Achievement? Help us spread the word!

If you’re passionate about Junior Achievement’s mission to prepare our young people to succeed and want to help us get our message out, you’ve come to the perfect place. The Branding and Volunteer Committee of JA of Chicago’s Area Board of Directors have created a compelling and informative slideshow and accompanying script for Board members and other supporters just like you to help spread awareness about JA. 

In the course of the 20-slide presentation "Why Junior Achievement?", your audience will learn how JA benefits young people, volunteers, and companies alike. The slideshow addresses the especially strong need for JA in the Chicago area and demonstrates the positive impact JA programs can have on students’ lives. The presentation also emphasizes how JA programs facilitate improved employee-company relations, strengthen employees’ skills and morale, and foster a positive corporate reputation.

This slideshow and script will equip you with all the tools needed to make a persuasive and comprehensive case for getting involved with Junior Achievement. The thorough explanations of the different programs and ways to get involved will allow your audience to come away with a strong sense of what JA is all about.
