Rotary & JA BizTown

By on May 8, 2013

On May 8, 2013, Rotarians and others helped with JA BizTown, an effort lead by Rotarian, Lauren Scheldrup. There was wonderful feedback from the teachers and students. Knowledge and experience is invaluable to students and JA cannot thank Rotarians enough for their support.

If you are ever interested in volunteering in the future, Junior Acheivement of Central Indiana is always in need of JA In-School, JA BizTown and JA Finance Park Virtual volunteers.

Here are few of the testimonials from that day…

I want to say a special thank you to Lauren and Sheila for encouraging me to do this. This was a great way for those students to learn a number of important academic and life skills by doing something that the young people obviously enjoyed. It was good to see the enthusiasm, cooperative attitudes and desires to do well that my group exhibited. While I do not know how much I contributed to their learning, it was very interesting and fun to be part of the process.

Dear Fellow Rotarians,
Please allow me to add my sincere thanks to all of you for helping us foster JA’s mission of inspiring and empowering young people to own their economic success. JA of Central Indiana will make a difference in the lives of over 15,000 students this school year, and your support as volunteer mentors is what makes that possible!

I look forward to many future opportunities to work together to support our wonderful community.
Jennifer Burk

I would also like to thank all of you for volunteering in our JA BizTown simulation We appreciate you taking the time to lend a hand to JA, and in helping us to guide our areas youth to believe in their potential.
