We are excited by the changes taking place in students, schools, families and our community through the work of Junior Achievement of Southern Massachusetts. We bring students, educators, volunteers and the community together so that we can help our young people make intelligent financial and career decisions and achieve success. During the 2012-13 school year, about 130 volunteers from nearly 40 companies administered 212 programs across our service area, impacting a total of 4,425 students - of which 50% were identified as "high need." Our goal for the 2013-2014 academic year is to achieve sustainable growth by increasing the number of students impacted to at least 4,600.
