Thank you to the GE Foundation and GE Capital Solutions!

       GE volunteers participate in Junior Achievement (JA) programs that seek to spur student achievement in disadvantaged areas around the world. The GE Foundation provided a two-year, $1.5 million grant to support and expand Junior Achievement pre-college programs in 75 GE communities around the world. GE volunteers play a critical role in the overall success of this program by helping JA students learn and demonstrate economic business concepts and skills. In 2004, more than 2,000 GE volunteers and 43,000 students took part in the GE/JA initiative.

     Locally, over the past two school years (2006-2008), Junior Achievement of Michiana received three grants totalling $15,000 to support Junior Achievment programs in school districts such as Benton Harbor, Coloma and Riverside.  All of these programs are led by local GE/Capital Solutions volunteers.  These volunteers are dedicated to JA's mission and vision to make our students workforce ready.

Thank you to GE Capital Solutions and the General Electric Foundation!
