Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City

As the school year comes to a close, we'd like to give a special shout out to our 3DE sponsors and partners from the 2023-2024 school year. Thank you for supporting and empowering students in the Kansas City region! 3DE by Junior Achievement is reengineering high school education to be more relevant, experiential, and authentically connected to the complexities of the real world, better preparing students for the demands of life outside the classroom.

Our Volunteer Manager, Sara Swearingen, helped inspire future leaders! She recently joined a Nonprofit Connect panel for first-generation college students from The University of Kansas. Nonprofit professionals across Kansas City shared their insights and experiences working in the industry, both the rewarding and the challenging. This opportunity aligns with Junior Achievement's mission to prepare students for careers and show them what options are available as they enter the workforce. Thanks, Nonprofit Connect, for inviting us! #JAKC #workreadiness

Thank you to volunteers like Yessica who help inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. You make a difference! "I am a mother of three beautiful girls and just to think how important it is to be a good role model for them, I want to be that role model to anyone who needs it. With every person I can help, our communities are a better place to live in. Kids deserve to know what opportunities they have in their future at a young age and what JAKC does is give them hope to a better future." #JAKC #BoundlessPossibility #Volunteer Yessica Flores

Our purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Thank you, Taco Bell Foundation, for your support in teaching students entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills. #JAKC #entrepreneurship #financialliteracy

The JAKC team was honored to lead a breakout session at the Sparkle Empowerment Conference for 4th-12th grade students in the Raytown School District last month. Using the JA It's My Future program, students learned about personal brand and that the brand they build for themselves today will reflect on them in the future. Students assessed their personal characteristics, defined their own brands, and developed logos that represent themselves. This JA lesson goes hand in hand with the goal of the conference: to empower female students with knowledge and life lessons on a range of topics including resume writing, interview skills, etiquette, internet safety, financial literacy, under the radar jobs and much more. When you feel strong and confident, you act strong and confident! #JAKC #ItsMyFuture #YouthEmpowerment
