Dear JA Friends, This impact report highlights key accomplishments during fiscal year 2023 from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. We had another banner year of increased impact in the Greater Boston region.

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.

The past academic year (2022-2023), we served 8,716 students with 104,592 contact hours, up from 6,199 students and 75,569 contact hours the prior year. This is a 41% increase in students served and a 38% increase in contact hours, resulting in significant increased impact in the region. Fifty-seven percent of students were in high school; 26% middle school; 17% elementary school, which aligns with our strategic vision.

We launched JA Inspire in December 2022, a hands-on career readiness and exploration fair which exposed 755 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.

ansforming students’ lives, making a lasting impact on their families, creating a more equitable society.

We launched 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 continue to focus on ensuring our organization is representative of the communities we serve. As we write this letter in August 2023, 67% of our staff and 30% of our board are people of color or identify as multiracial. We focused on recruiting diverse volunteers and hired vendors of color.

In this report you will read many other accomplishments, meet some of our wonderful students, alumni and partners and get a glimpse into the increased impact Junior Achievement of Greater Boston is making in the lives of the youth we serve, our communities, and the region.

We appreciate your partnership in our critical mission; we cannot do it without you. Thank you.

Program Spotlights 2022 JA Summer Institute In August 2022, RSM hosted our 9th Annual JA Summer Institute where 31 high school students participated in workshops focused on financial planning, the stock market, the design thinking process, innovation, resume building, and interviewing skills.

Forty-three percent of the students were from our impact communities and 77% of the students were new to JA. Each day opened with an Executive Speaker who shared advice and opened the students’ eyes to new perspectives and possibilities. The week wrapped up with a speed networking session where students had the opportunity speak one-on-one with business professionals from different industries.

Thank you to our host, RSM, and our generous sponsors Accenture, Experian, Delta Air Lines, EY, FactSet, Northern Bank & Trust, Needham Bank, Citisoft, and East Boston Savings Bank.

CGI IT Girl Challenge The CGI IT Girl Challenge is a 12-week mentoring program for teams of female identifying students to build and design a mobile app under the guidance of CGI mentors. Each team pitches its app via a video and answers live questions from a panel of female IT leaders, who select the winners based on the most innovative, applicable, and creative mobile app design. The winning team receives a $20,000 college scholarship to split among team members. CGI and JA share commitment to enriching opportunities for students to explore new and exciting fields, and this program is a clear example of that mutual passion.

The 2023 CGI IT Girl Challenge culminating competition and celebration was hosted at RSM on March 15th, 2023. We had five excellent student teams from Burlington High School, Jeremiah E. Burke High School (Boston), Lowell High School, North Quincy High School, and Chelsea Virtual Learning Academy.

Burlington High School finished second and North Quincy High School’s 2-person team came in first and split the $20,000 scholarship!

JA Company Program JA Company Program is our flagship entrepreneurial program where students create, operate, and liquidate a business.

This year we had 43 students participate across 6 student teams that each worked to create a product to address an unmet need. Our dedicated mentors from Boston-based businesses met with teams weekly to provide them with invaluable real-world guidance and business expertise. This year marks the one-year anniversary of our JA Innovation Center @ RSM, and each student utilized the space and tools to prototype or create their products. Each team came to the JA Innovation Center @ RSM for prototyping or creating their products and utilized tools such as our 3D printers, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, and embroidery machine. Over the 19-week program, students participated in our events such as the crowdfunding workshop, seed funding competition, and the JA of Greater Boston annual pitch competition. We congratulate our student company Kazé for winning 1st place and the title of JA Company of the Year (and $500 each student) for their pitch about their fashionable aglet protectors.

Every year, JA Company Program wraps up with the opportunity for teams to apply to compete as one of 15 teams from across the USA in the JA National Student Leadership Summit. This year, our student company TriSense was selected to attend! They pitched their product to senators and business professionals on Capitol Hill at the entrepreneurship expo, presented their idea to a room full of 100 people, and participated in leadership and entrepreneurship workshops led by JA partners like Delta Air Lines and FedEx.

“Our mentor encouraged our independence as company team and trusted us to learn and problem solve ourselves. While he would give us pointers, he ultimately let us figure it out on our own, which was unbelievably rewarding.”

“I learned how to work with others and what it means to be in a leadership position on a team.”

“For employers that are exhibiting today, these kids will get to not just hear about it or read it on paper, but they get to actually touch and feel it and talk to someone in the industry and hopefully, people that look like them. If you can’t see yourself in that industry and if you can’t see yourself doing that work, then you don’t think it’s for you. And that’s one of the biggest problems that we’ve always had is connecting youth.”

2022 JA Inspire In December 2022, Junior Achievement of Greater Boston hosted its inaugural JA Inspire at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston! In total, 755 students from across our region visited, explored, and engaged with 38 exhibitors! 97% of students came from four of our nine impact communities, Boston, Chelsea, Lawrence, and Lowell. This year’s JA Inspire was successful in that 78% of students reported that the event exposed them to different jobs they didn’t know existed. And, 79% reported that it helped them better understand the job market in Massachusetts.

Activities ranged from bone drilling and a hip replacement simulation at Beth Israel Medical Center’s booth to a 360 booth at Dellbrook | JKS to learning how to safely drill into drywall with North Atlantic States Carpenters Training Fund. The interactive activities proved to be interesting, fun, and informative with 84% of students reporting so.

JA Career Pathway for Alumni This spring we successfully launched the JA Career Pathway for Alumni with a cohort of 17 high school seniors representing five of JA’s impact communities; Boston, Chelsea, Lawrence, Lowell, and Somerville. Led by our Associate Board of Directors, students participated in four 2-hour workshops preparing them to be in a professional setting, before participating in a two-week JA summer internship hosted at RSM. During the JA internship our corporate partners and community partner, Year Up, delivered workshops on topics such as Economic Development, Workforce Trends, Career Design, Resume Writing, LinkedIn Profiles, and many more. Students, now alumni, were given clothing and travel stipends, Dell laptops to keep, and were paid $20 an hour to participate totaling $1,400 each, over $23,000 in total. One student wrote, “I honestly think this has been the best opportunity of my life. I was able to gain the knowledge to enter the workforce that I never would have gotten anywhere else”.

In addition to working with our pilot cohort, we placed 14 alumni into paid internships with our corporate partners; cumulatively, alumni earned over $135,000 this summer. We held our first JA Alumni Professional Development Day for these 14 alumni where they identified their working styles, how to build relationships with people of different working styles, worked on active listening, and developed the skills to “Manage Up.” This coming fall we anticipate working with over 50 alumni helping them secure paid internships for the summer of 2024 and entry level jobs. Thank you to our corporate partners for your invaluable support as we launch this critical new initiative!

“I learned about secure and unsecured credit cards. I learned a lot about personal finance in general!”

“I can approach an interview confidently by being my authentic self.”

“I learned that networking is essentially building a community.”

JA Stock Market Challenge After a four year, pandemic induced hiatus, we at JA of Greater Boston were thrilled to bring back our coveted in-person JA Stock Market Challenge to RSM in Charlestown on April 4th, 2023. Exceeding pre-pandemic student participation, 1,211 students participated in lessons about the stock market led by Delta Air Lines volunteers from our community, including from companies such as Santander Bank, Factset, Fidelity Investments, Citizens Bank, & Alliance for Lifetime Income. Lesson topics included: Understanding Stocks, Stock Trading, & Exploring Dividends.

Over 100 winners of the classroom competition competed at RSM in an exciting 60-day simulation of the stock market.

As any teacher who has implemented project-based learning can attest – it was fun to watch! Students were loud and excited. They took ownership of what they were learning. Thirty-one teams watched the news and hailed floor traders to execute trades. All participating students came from our impact communities, including Boston, Chelsea, Lawrence, and Lowell. The winning team with the highest growth to their portfolio was from Somerville High School; 2nd place was from Lawrence High School (after a 2-year Lawrence winning streak); and third place was from Brighton High School.

Board JA in a Day This year, we had our first Board JA in a Day since 2019! Several board and associate board members, along with their colleagues, led JA lessons to 246 students in 14 classes at the James W. Hennigan K-8 School in Boston. The topics covered were wants vs. needs, the different careers and roles in a community, what is money and how to works in a city, and more! The day was met with many smiles from all! Thank you to our Board companies, Accenture, Dellbrook | JKS, Slalom, CNA, AIG, MDD Forensic Accountants, Robert Half, eternalHealth, KPMG, M&T Bank, and Santander Bank for your participation!

“Volunteering is not always roses and rainbows. There certainly have been times that the students we work with have tested my patience, (especially during our virtual Covid programming years) but those times were often followed by some incredible moments where it became obvious that not only were they paying attention but at times truly embracing the opportunity they had in front of them. Some lessons came easy to our students, some the hard yet more gratifying way through hard work, determination and by failing, pivoting and trying again. Yet regardless of the journey I am always left amazed by the students I meet, for their knowledge, skills and compassion for others.”

Michael Kelly

JA Volunteer of the Year Michael Kelly has been a dedicated and passionate volunteer, leading the AIG representation in our JA Company Program after school program for the last five years. Michael has served as a lead mentor, providing key insights and developing not only our student leaders, but his fellow mentors as well. The quality of his mentorship is highlighted by the back-to-back representation by TriSense, the team he’s mentored the last two years, at National Student Leadership Summit. Only fifteen teams nationally are selected every year based on annual reports and marketing efforts. This of course speaks to high caliber students, but additionally to the professionalism, consistency, and leadership Michael models.

This year, Michael was commended for his exceptional mentorship in being named the JA Volunteer of the Year at the Spirit of JA Celebration. Michael is a model of what makes a successful mentor and volunteer, and we thank him for his longstanding support of our students, mission, and organization.

“At Delta, we believe that corporate social responsibility and philanthropy are essential to creating a brighter future for our communities.

We are honored to support JA’s mission, which aligns with our own values and priorities.

Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of young people and help them achieve their full potential. ” Candice Stover District Sales Manager, New England | Global Sales, accepted the award on behalf of Delta Air Lines

Spirit of JA Corporate Partner Delta Air Lines’ exceptional commitment to JA and dedication to empowering young minds have significantly impacted our mission. We extend our heartfelt congratulations and deep gratitude to Delta Air Lines for their invaluable contributions and look forward to a continued partnership in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

Individual Spirit of JA Awardee Angel Burgado’s extensive work for our JA chapter in the last several years is an example of what we want in a volunteer partnership because his values align with JA’s mission and are shown through his tremendous efforts. He is reliable, thoughtful, and well-intentioned. He is continually working on getting the Santander branches involved in the communities they sit in, allowing students to see themselves in the volunteers. Angel has built up a pool of Santander employees who know JA, recognize JA’s value for young people, and come back wanting more.

“Every sunrise is a gift, and service is our way of repaying that gift.

Every morning we wake up and we get the opportunity to go out into the world and make a difference in someone’s life. Whether it is a smile we offer someone or holding the door open or even saying good morning we have no idea the impact we could have on someone’s day, or how that impact ripples to the next person and so on and so on.”

Angel Burgado

JA School of the Year This year, we were excited to present our JA School of the Year Award to Parthum Middle School in Lawrence. The school has a diverse student body with a majority of students identifying as Hispanic or Latino. Parthum Middle School strives to provide its students with a high-quality education that prepares them for success in high school and beyond.

As a committed JA school partner, Parthum completed weekly JA programming in their 6th through 8th grade classrooms and class participation in our first JA Inspire. In total, 325 unique students received JA programming that covered our three pathways - financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.

The Parthum warmly welcomed volunteers into their classrooms and continues to be open to a variety of opportunities we offer. By working with JA year after year, their students grow with us and in their learning.

Principal Peter LeFebre and Vice Principal Jaina Shea, Parthum Middle School

“Let’s give it a whirl. As a JA alumna, I was instilled with confidence that eased the transition from a Psychology degree to a job at a brokerage firm. With talented colleagues to guide me and a wonderful family to nurture me, I was able to embrace new career opportunities along the way. JA widened my aperture to more broadly consider options at important life moments.

I am honored and grateful.”

Melinda Kuleszka

JA Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee Melinda Kuleszka held a long career at Fidelity Investments in Boston with leadership roles in marketing, communications, business development, and technology program management.

Melinda is a proud JA alum, who continued her involvement with JA by volunteering in her daughter’s classrooms, then joining the JA Board of Directors in 2017. She involved herself in many JA programs, such as being a mentor for JA’s company program, Re-Write.
