Provide Entrepreneurship Programs to 300+ Students

By AnnMarie Tanzella | Individual Giving Development Officer

September 2013

Junior Achievement of Northern New England (JANNE) is deeply grateful to all our donors to the GlobalGiving Campaign.

The JANNE GlobalGiving project was to deliver entreprenership programs to students in kindergarten – 12^th grades. We are pleased to report that, in the 2012-2013 academic year, JANNE surpassed this goal and reached a total of 38,000 students through 1,700 trained volunteers.

What we must remember is that the JA experience can be equally as rewarding for our school partners and volunteers as it can be for the students we serve. Please take a moment to read this testimonial from a JA school partner.

“My students are in grades 9-12, and the JA workshops were able to reach each of them. The young professionals who conducted the workshops for my students were positive role models. There was enough happening that the time flew and the students were disappointed to have it end. My students wrote draft resumes, learned about important skills for success, tips for money management, and more. Thank you for this opportunity.

– Lydia Nelson, Teacher, Whitman-Hanson Regional High School

GlobalGiving Campaign Report

June 2013

Junior Achievement of Northern New England (JANNE) is deeply grateful to all our donors to the GlobalGiving Campaign.

The JANNE GlobalGiving project was to deliver 14 financial literacy education programs to 323 New Hampshire students in kindergarten – 12^th grades. We are pleased to report that, in the 2012-2013 academic year, JANNE surpassed this goal and reached a total of 5,950 New Hampshire students through 252 JA programs.

What we must remember is that the JA experience can be equally as rewarding for our volunteers as it can be for the students we serve. Please take a moment to read this testimonial from a volunteer at the Wilson School in Manchester, NH:

“I wanted to share with everyone the experience I have had at the Wilson School in Manchester, NH working with Ms. Tammy McLaughlin and her class of 24. Over the course of six weeks I conducted a class on Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy with a group of 4th graders.

Our class delved into business vocabulary, the competencies entrepreneurs hold, and business development. We developed a game store with a strong focus on inventory, advertisement, capital resources, and human resources. We advertised our business in a number of ways including; television commercials, a carnival, and monster truck endorsements. I am so proud of what my class accomplished and it is evident that they embraced the program based on their incredible exit test results.

This experience has been completely eye opening. In the small business realm I meet a variety of people who have creative and innovative ideas, however it was so interesting to see what business is to a 9 year old. I’m thrilled that I was able to make an impact and I look forward to other volunteer opportunities similar to this.”
