Blog Post: You have decided to network and get involved, now what?

Networking and volunteering are valuable ways for you to utilize your time while searching for a job. There are many organizations I am involved with and Junior Achievement (JA) is one of them.

As an business owner, I value JA's programs because they embrace the true meaning of entrepreneurship and giving back to the community.

Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs.

Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.

JA’s unique approach allows volunteers from the community to deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students.

Come see what JA is about at our next social, Wed. August 13, 2008 5:30 to 8:30pm, the Blue Martini at the Galleria Mall. $15 per person! This event will be over capacity, so you do not want to miss it! Make sure you find me, Violet, and say hi!
