Junior Achievement is hosting Career Day at Stevenson Middle School in Melrose Park in the month of May. I am looking for volunteers to guest speak in several classes about their personal career journeys.
Stevenson Middle School is home to over 900 students, many of which are from a low-income community. The school is 95% Latino, and for many of them (first generation immigrants), have had very little to no exposure to the endless career and college opportunities that are accessible to them all.
Please join me in this opportunity to inspire the young minds at Stevenson Middle School, the time you spend with them will open their worlds to endless possbilities, and inspire them to pursue a successful life.
If you are interested in sharing your career path to inspire and guide Stevenson Middle School students, please contact me and I will provide you with all necessary details.
Speakers are needed for the following career clusters:
Agriculture,
Food & Natural Resources
Architecture & Construction Arts
A/V Technology & Communications

Mission Statement
To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in the global economy.
Description
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. In partnership with businesses and educators, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.
Our corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world - enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
Throughout JA's sequential and integrated kindergarten through high school programs, students think critically and solve complex problems. Through our business, financial, and entrepreneurial educational programs, we prepare students to:
- Proactively manage their finances;
- Become entrepreneurs; and
- Develop skills that will be recognized and valued in a global workforce.
During the 2017-2018 school year, JA of Chicago successfully reached 600,222 students of all ages, races, ethnic backgrounds and physical capabilities, including at-risk youth in twelve Chicago-area and northwestern Indiana counties.
