After the program, we had multiple kids expressing a desire to meet one on one with extending their knowledge.

The tax information that we provided to the students was something they were extremely interested in learning more about.

Meg Peters

“Very well laid out to get the lessons completed and points learned. Good interaction to capture all of the learning styles. Kids seemed to be excited about the time during the lessons and were disappointed to learn that we were finished.”

Julie Andrews

“The experience was enjoyable, motivating and refreshing to see the eagerness of students at this age in learning and sharing their input. This is a good time to introduce the basics of personal economics (the value of community involvement and how many and business impact their lives)."

Deborah Edison

I’ve had a student come up and give me a hug because the learning impacted them so much.

Stefan Jackson

“If it wasn’t for Junior Achievement bringing the real-world into the classroom, I would have never been exposed to the idea and the possibility that I could belong in a place such as the Walt Disney Company or I can belong in an environment where I have a seat at the table.”

Oliver Martinez-Reyes

With this material I have not had a class who was not engaged. Kids seem to love the concepts and how we discuss the reality with them like adults.
