Passionate Volunteers

Empowering young people to own their economic success

Valued Friends & Investors For nearly 75 years, Junior Achievement of Chicago has been in the business of believing in our young people. Since 1940, our volunteers and supporters have been dedicated to the transformative power of investing in our youth and have motivated them to reach their boundless potential.

We showed our continued commitment to this promise by providing impactful programs to 484,239 Chicago-area students (an 8.7% increase over the prior year) and 22,914 Chicago-area classrooms during the 2014 school year, and introducing innovative ways to connect with students through the re-imagination of our flagship curriculum, the “JA Company Program” (see page 12 Sandy Daffé President, Junior Achievement of Chicago

David W. Nelms Chairman and CEO, Discover Financial Services Chairman, Junior Achievement of Chicago

for details). The new, blended-learning program will allow students to learn through vodcasts, tablets, and other digital platforms, keeping JA relevant and accessible to all students.

We truly believe that all students have the ability to reach their academic and career goals, but they do not always have the resources available to fulfill these aspirations.

That’s where you come in. As a classroom volunteer, educator, or financial supporter, you are helping to provide students with valuable financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurial skills they need to be successful when they enter the workforce. By partnering with JA, you made a choice to invest in the boundless potential of youth, and we cannot thank you enough.

Your investment over the past year has paid enormous dividends, allowing us to establish exciting new partnerships in our communities, a strong financial standing, and most notably, the record 484,239 students that were impacted. This unprecedented level of outreach allows us to set our sights high for our 75th anniversary, with a goal to reach 515,000 Chicago-area students during the 2015 school year.

Thank you for giving your time and resources to support Junior Achievement of Chicago. We look forward to celebrating our 75th anniversary with you as we empower even more students to fulfill their dreams.

The Power of Partnerships This year, 11,448 volunteers made a difference in the lives of students through Junior Achievement of Chicago. Our passionate volunteers come from corporations and the local community and invest in their neighborhood schools by teaching our relevant, hands-on programs. They serve as positive role models to students by sharing their professional and life experiences while teaching JA’s proven, fun programs. JA’s educational curriculum helps students see the connection between what they learn in school and the working world, thereby enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school. While our programs are fantastic, it’s our volunteers that truly empower the future.

“

I have seen really shy people come out of a classroom excited and ready to volunteer again.

— Marci, JA company coordinator and volunteer

“

It was such an amazing experience that I am still talking about it!

— Allana, 5th grade volunteer

“

JA has helped me to have a renewed hope in our future by working with these amazing students that are so eager to learn!

The New JA Company Program Since our founding, the JA Company Program has stood as the cornerstone of the JA experiential, entrepreneurial-learning method. The program unlocks the innate ability in high school students to fill a need or solve a problem in their community by launching a business venture.

The curriculum has been re-imagined this year to make the experience more contemporary.

For the first time, digital tools will be infused in the JA Company Program that will allow students to take advantage of social media strategies, create their own e-portfolios, and allow for volunteers to interact with students virtually.

With the help of a grant from The Hartford to JA USA, the new JA Company program is part of an initiative currently being launched by JA USA to blend our educational curriculum with 21st century learning capabilities. JA Education Gateway will provide modular, blended learning experiences that include classroom materials, digital activities, online seminars, and competitions coupled with JA’s traditional face-to-face volunteering; the new education platform will also feature virtual meeting rooms and web-based mentoring.

The 2014 JA Company of the Year was awarded to Lemont High School for their innovative and fun “LEMONT-OPOLY” board game!

“

The program not only teaches students about entrepreneurship, it

makes students entrepreneurs!

Students experience the same road blocks as entrepreneurs and develop their problem solving skills to get past these obstacles.

Whole School Partnership A Whole School Partnership is unique because companies can adopt an entire school in the neighborhood where they do business. Every student at a chosen school benefits from JA’s programs, while company employees have the opportunity to develop a special bond with the community they serve.

PARTNERS & PROJECTS

The Encompass Championship This past spring Junior Achievement of Chicago was named one of four charity partners for The Encompass Championship, presented by CareerBuilder!

This prestigious Champions Tour tournament was played the week of June 16–22, 2014 at North Shore Country Club in Glenview. The tournament featured a special Pro-Am format during the first two rounds of competition on Friday and Saturday pairing all 81 Champions Tour professionals with celebrities and amateurs. Sunday’s final round saw Champions Tour professionals competing for the individual title and it came down to the final putt, which Tom Lehman made to become the 2014 Champion.

Encompass Championship Charities designated four outstanding youth-oriented organizations as beneficiaries of this year’s tournament that are focused on improving the lives of young people. JA of Chicago is honored to be sharing a portion of the net proceeds for the event, with the Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund, JDRF, and The First Tee of Greater Chicago joining us as charity partners.

Thank you to Encompass, CareerBuilder and the Champions Tour for this incredible opportunity!

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

2014 Scholarship Awards

$101,500

Student Scholarships

Each year, JA gives thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards to exceptional students who have participated in JA programs. This year, we awarded more than $100,000 in scholarships to 16 outstanding high school students. The top award, the Colonel Henry Crown Scholarship, provides $20,000 over the course of four years at an accredited college and includes a paid summer internship at a Henry Crown affiliated company. The Colonel Henry Crown Scholarship winners were Mishika Narula of Highland Park High School in Highland Park, Jenna Baker of Aqsa School in Bridgeview, Julissa Garcia of Morton East High School in Cicero, and Margaret Rogers of Lemont High School in Lemont.

“

I have been given a great opportunity to attend college and study business, as well as gain real world experience

through summer internships. My first summer internship was with a law firm in Chicago. There, I was in a professional environment, did projects guided by mentors, met other JA scholars, and developed career skills.

– Matthew Kern, 2013 Colonel Henry Crown Scholarship recipient
