No other organization has the reach and impact that JA has in educating our youth on the virtues of the free enterprise system and instilling in them a solid foundation of financial literacy skills. This past school year, the organization partnered with over 200 schools offering 19 programs which spans the entire K-12 curricula impacting 24,994 students. These accomplishments are made possible because the business community provides both the financial resources and volunteers. In fact, 1,168 business people volunteered to present a JA program providing 148,419 educational contact hours during the 2011-2012 school year. Evaluations show time and again JA provides those who volunteer or financially support JA a Return On Investment (ROI) through a more educated and informed populace who understand how to prosper in our economic system. Junior Achievement collaborates with other statewide organizations to leverage limited resources. Collaborations with groups such as the Colorado Council of Economic Education, the Colorado Jump$tart Coalition, the Colorado Department of Education, the Federal Reserve Bank – Denver Branch and our sister organization in Denver, Junior Achievement Rocky Mountain, Inc., help spread the message to all communities throughout the state that Junior Achievement provides a rich curriculum that reinforces the Colorado mandate for financial literacy throughout the K-12 curriculum. The organization needs your help to make sure today’s young people understand and value our American Free Enterprise System. Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado, Inc. has in place a network that delivers economic knowledge to youth. We invite you to join us in passing the torch of knowledge of the free enterprise system on to the generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs.

High School As students’ interests and needs mature, the classroom focus turns to how economics relate to their lives. They learn basic financial planning, workplace ethics and skills such as budgeting and investing. And through a sophisticated online simulation, many get first-hand experience in running a virtual business. JA volunteers provide positive adult role models and lead students toward workforce readiness. 21st Century Skills Forum/Explore Your Possibilities Approximately 550 area high school students gathered on Thursday, January 12 for a unique and inspiring career workshop.
