Junior Achievement of Maine (JA) is a youth empowerment organization with a mission of inspiring, preparing, and empowering young people to be career and life ready. JA connects volunteer mentors from the community with kindergarten – 12th grade classrooms across Maine, to deliver hands on experiences that focus on career exploration, good money management, and building an entrepreneurial mindset. The goal is to broaden kids’ sense of opportunities for future success and employment in Maine .
Did you Know? 56% of JA alumni work or have worked in the same career field as their JA volunteer! Volunteers are a critical component to student success and the need for volunteer mentors is greater now than ever before. Please consider giving your time to impacting the lives of our future workforce, our kids. It’s easy, it’s fun and most of all, it’s rewarding.
MxG & WEX invite you to join the entrepreneurial ecosystem to socialize and learn about opportunities to support the next generation of entrepreneurs! We will have an entrepreneur speaker and Junior Achievement volunteer who can share the impact. Junior Achievement interacts with K-12th students across Maine, and an astonishing 51% of JA Alumni across the U.S have started or owned a business!
