JA Students Do It
Their Own Way

The summer job market is tougher than ever for teens, so why not create a business of your own? Students that have participated in a JA program have increased their knowledge of entrepreneurship and financial literacy and are taking matters into their own hands. JA USA President Jack Kosakowski was recently interviewed by CNN, which you can see here.

Having a safe place to learn and play while on summer break is something every child should have. JA is excited to be offering program materials to 95 summer program sites reaching approximately 6,500 students. Students from K-12th grade will be exposed to hands-on activities that keep them engaged in learning through the summer months.

 

Funding for this program was provided by the Dan and Gloria Oppenheimer Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation. For more than 40 years, the San Antonio Area Foundation, a publicly supported philanthropic institution, has been administering donors' funds and granting gifts from those funds to worthy charitable causes that significantly enhance the quality of life in the communities they serve.
