Junior Achievement of the Michigan Great Lakes
We envision a world where young people have the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities. We do this by providing volunteer-led K-12 student programs that promote financial literacy, inspire entrepreneurship, and prepare young people for success in a 21st century workplace. Our programs are designed to be volunteer delivered directly in the classroom and on-site at our new, state-of-the-art facility in Grand Rapids, MI.
