At no time in recent history has the need for financial literacy and economic education been more evident. With the media constantly relaying stories of home foreclosures and savings lost, we are regularly reminded of the risks of poor personal financial management. These issues touch people of all walks of life, but leave the financially uneducated the most vulnerable. Junior Achievement continues to be at the forefront of the fight for financial literacy. With more than 60 years of experience in our region, JA provides economic education for students of all economic levels through partnerships with educators, contributors and volunteers.

Step up now and help JA teach young people the economics of life!

Call JA at (502) 561-KIDS (5437) or e-mail Shellea Ijames at shelleai@jaky.org.
