The 7th grade Math classes at Miguel Juarez Middle School will be implementing Junior Achievement's Economics for Success program on April 6, 13, and 20. AKA "Financial Fridays".
We ask that each volunteer commit to a 80-minute class period on April 6, 13 and 20.
JA Economics for Success focuses on saving and investing money wisely, using a credit card cautiously and spending money within a budget. All volunteers will be trained and provided with materials.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Michelle Walter: mwalter@jachicago.org

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.
