Martin Middle School Students Explore Economics & Entrepreneurship

For six weeks, on Thursdays, a group of JA volunteers from all walks of life come to help the students of Martin Middle learn the tools to reach their full potential through JA’s economic and entrepreneurship programs. The volunteers and students are now halfway through this program and the students are really blossoming, they are becoming more curious, confident and are starting to trust their volunteers. Students are starting to offer more ideas and answer more questions while engaging with the content.

Junior Achievement believes that opportunity is for everyone and are dedicated to bringing resources to the schools we serve. Our dedicated volunteers do more than disseminate JA program curriculum- they are mentors cheerleading for the success of their students. We couldn’t do what we do without caring community members stepping up to help expose these students to the possibilities, and helping students turn “I Can’t” into “I Can”.

Thank to our Junior Achievement Mentors at Martin Middle School!
