Today, Tuesday February 17th, our guest speakers were Jeffrey D Bosch and Shawn Armstrong from Junior Achievement of Northwestern Ohio. The program is dedicated to educating students in local k-12 classrooms financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness.
Volunteers go into the classroom and teach 5-7 presentations on the topics. If you want to be a volunteer or want more information please contact Shawn Armstrong at 419-621-1794 or visit http://toledo.ja.org. A flyer will also be available on our main site www.sanduskykiwanis.org
A very appropriate topic considering money is the most discussed current event. Personally I have always felt the need for more of what Junior Achievement does. I may be a little biased since I work in the financial industry but too many of our kids enter the workforce with little or no financial background. Financial education is the most important thing no matter what field the student enters. Money is always involved both professionally and personally. Junior Achievement can help create the solid financial foundation for students to build a successful career and family.
