JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT - INSPIRING AND PREPARING YOUNG PEOPLE TO SUCCEED

We should find ways to GIVE BACK, at least a little bit, of what we had the opportunity to learn in our lives.  

Giving back is not just beneficial for the recipients, but also for us!

About JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT:

Junior Achievement is a nonprofit organization, that since 1919 has developed around the world an effective partnership between business community, educators and volunteers, all them working together to inspire young people to dream big and reach their potential and succeed.

They prepare and inspire young people to succeed in a global economy through classroom programs and simulations that focus on work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy.

My own experience with Junior Achievement: 

Back in 1995/1996, I supported  Dow Chemical's implementation of Junior Achievement projects in Brazil, and a couple of years later (1998/1999) I supported  Junior Achievement at a public school in Buenos Aires - Argentina.

I invite you to take a look at their websites:
