Junior Achievement of Greater Washington

The mission of Junior Achievement of Greater Washington (JA) is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. JA provides every student equal access to relevant and experiential education, community mentors, and global business leaders. JA’s programs focus on the core content areas of career readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. The TowerCares grant will support JA Finance Park Prince George’s County, which provides in-school financial literacy education to 7th graders in Prince George’s County Public Schools, including a one-day experience at the JA Finance Park location. Students learn about saving, investing, budgeting, risk management, credit, and more. JA serves over 12,000 students with over half from low-to moderate-income families. The funds will be used for program supplies, curriculum materials, and staff time.
