JA HEROES: EMPOWERING THE FUTURE 02 • w w w.jahear tland.org Letter from the President and Board Chair Dear Friends: Think back to your childhood. What inspired you? I bet it wasn’t a chapter in a textbook, but rather an adult who invested time in you. Someone who encouraged you to realize your dreams, plan your future, and take the necessary steps to achieve your goals. For Junior Achievement, those adults are heroes and we’re proud to equip them with the opportunity to empower young people to own their economic success. Barbara VenHorst President JA of the Heartland Our heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Some wear bowling shoes while others carry a JA program kit. Whether they volunteer in a classroom, participate in one of our special events, or make a financial investment to support our programs – one thing is certain, they all are passionate in inspiring our students to believe in themselves by showing them how to succeed in our global economy. The 2013-2014 school year was powerful. Thanks to the JA Heroes you’ll see listed in this annual report, we were able to serve 55,557 students; 2,400 more students than the previous year. We also expanded to new communities and gained more financial investors. As educators turn to us for support in providing financial literacy, work-readiness, and entrepreneurship programs in their classroom, we rely on our JA Heroes to help make it happen. Whether you invested your time, talent, or treasure to support JA – we thank you for being a JA Hero.

Whether the discussion is focused on terms like profit and return on investment, or other guidance such as interview tips and dress codes, JA is the best vehicle to convey the message of the business community to our area students. Even planting a few thoughts in the mind of a future employee can pay significant dividends down the road.” “I support Junior Achievement because I believe it aides in preparing our youth for the world and workforce they will soon enter. The program gives them insight and information on how to be a respected citizen and a positive addition to our society. The valuable lessons will be used later in their careers and in their lives.” “As a banker, we meet with students once they’ve graduated and many times it’s too late. By the time they get to us they may already be in financial trouble or have made some mistakes along the way. We’d like to get in front of them beforehand so we can teach them what to do and what not to do when the situation arises. JA allows us to do that, as well as get them started with the basics of financial literacy to get them off on the right foot.” “We believe in investing in our community and our future workforce. JA is all about developing the workforce of the future. By volunteering our time, talent, and treasure, JA helps us in the long run and helps the community as a whole.” “As a student, JA had a significant impact on my life. It was something I found both interesting and informative. It was very exciting as a student to correlate the things we were learning in the classroom with the things that went on outside in the ‘real world.’ My hope is that by being involved in Junior Achievement I will reach students like myself and have a positive impact on them, like my JA volunteers did on me.” he·ro – noun \ˈhir-(ˌ)ō\ :a person who is greatly admired JA OF THE HEARTLAND LOCATIONS: Headquarters JA World Folwell Education Center for Free Enterprise 800 12th Avenue Moline, IL 61265 Telephone: 309.736.1630 JA BizTown and JA Finance Park 116 W.
