2023 JA Golf Classic Program Book

3DE Schools by Junior Achievement is a holistic and comprehensive model to reconstruct traditional high schools.

3DE re-engineers education to create engaging learning environments that reflect the world in which we live and empowers students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to unlock greater economic opportunity.

JA of Greater Boston in partnership with the Boston Public School (BPS)

will launch the first 3DE School in Massachusetts at the

Jeremiah E Burke High School

Fall of 2023

Welcome to Junior Achievement of Greater Boston’s 25th Annual JA Golf Classic at the beautiful Black Rock Country Club. This year’s tournament is extra special as we celebrate its 25th year of bringing together JA supporters for a great day of golf in support of our critical mission.

Today we honor Mark Reilly, who himself has reached the impressive milestone of 25 years of service on the Junior Achievement of Greater Boston board of directors. What makes Mark special goes beyond his quarter century of service to JA; he is as committed to our mission today as he was on year one of his board service. Thank you Mark for the many JA students whose lives you have improved through your unwavering commitment to Junior Achievement.

We continue to make significant progress with our new strategic vision to close the wealth and opportunity gaps for youth in key impact communities in our region (currently Boston, Brockton, Chelsea, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, Quincy, Somerville, and Worcester) by creating middle school to career pathways, igniting youth entrepreneurship, and preparing financially savvy youth.

We launched JA Inspire in December 2022, a hands-on career readiness and exploration fair which exposed 750 8th graders to 38 employers representing diverse companies and industries to get them thinking about their potential career pathway during the critical middle school years. We recently celebrated the first anniversary of our JA Innovation Center @ RSM in Charlestown, which has provided the region’s youth a safe environment with top-of-the-line technology and access to mentors to ideate, innovate, explore their creativity, and experiment with various JA curricula.

We are excited to share news of the significant progress made concerning our JA Career Pathway For Alumni, through which we are preparing JA alumni (post high school) to secure, complete, and succeed in their first career opportunity through paid internships with some of the world’s leading employers in Greater Boston. Employers such as Accenture, AIG, CGI, Eaton Vance, Moderna, Staples, and Voya Financial – just to name a few. We are excited to help these bright JA alumni launch their careers at great companies while also helping diversify the region’s talent pipeline.

We are set to launch 3DE Schools by Junior Achievement at the Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Boston. This comprehensive, transformational instructional model, which connects high school education to the real world, is reengineering high school education by making education more relevant to students’ future in the workforce, preparing students to master critical competencies that will help them succeed in any career pathway they choose; all while exposing them to positive role models from the business communities who will model what these students can become in the future.

We could not deliver on our mission without the generous support of all our sponsors. In particular, I want to recognize M&T Bank, Robert Half, Delta Air Lines, EY and Woburn Motors for their significant investment in today’s tournament.

We are humbled by your generosity.

Radhamés Nova President & CEO
