3 Statements & Search Criteria Statements Mission Statement Junior Achievement (JA) is an impact organization that partners with volunteers from the community to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. The three pillars of JA are work readiness, financial literacy and entrepreneurship. Background Statement Junior Achievement was incorporated locally in November of 1963 and nationally in The purpose of the corporation was to provide an opportunity for young people, in cooperation with adult advisers, to form and operate miniature businesses for the purpose of developing an understanding through actual experience of the relationship, function and development of the essential elements of the US private enterprise system involving private capital, wise management and responsible labor. The first local directors included - O.A. Bakhaus, Leslie Combs, II, William Embry, Jr., Garvice Kincaid, Fred Wachs and W.T. Young. Impact Statement An important aspect of Junior Achievement programs is the ability to be effective with all types of students - ethnic groups, at-risk students and students with various ability levels. According to teachers, there is a consensus that all JA students are better equipped to think critically, solve problems and take on different perspectives than are students who have not participated in Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement volunteers are now inspiring over 20,300 students (K-12) in the Central Kentucky area. These student numbers represent approximately 846 classrooms. During , we are projecting that our volunteers will inspire approximately 20,000 students in the classrooms and 2,500 in JA BizTown. Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass has raised approximately $2.2 million to provide a JA BizTown/JA Finance Park facility for the 5th and 8th grade students in Central and Eastern Kentucky. In partnership with Fayette County Public Schools, we are working to apply our experiential curriculum to core educational standards in the context of our local economy. This learning experience - presented in a fun, hands-on atmosphere - will inspire students to dream big about their future and understand what skills they will need to reach their potential. Imagine fifth grade students discovering the real-life opportunities available in the free enterprise system as they become business operators, taxpayers and consumers in JA BizTown. Now imagine eighth grade students visiting the same facility to enter the world of personal financial responsibility. At JA Finance Park, students learn about the implications of financial decisions, consider the options available and construct and live within a personal budget. JA opened JA BizTown/JA Finance Park in January of Since 2002, JA of the Bluegrass has been recognized by Junior Achievement USA for excellence in financial management, program quality, program impact and management effectiveness. 3

4 Needs Statement JA programs are funded by businesses and individuals and are designed to be taught in the classroom by business, parent and community volunteers. Classroom volunteers make economic concepts relevant, fuel the entrepreneurial spirit and challenge the students to excel. JA's unique delivery system provides the training, materials and support necessary to ensure a positive experience. All materials and curriculum are provided by JA and developed specifically for each grade level. All volunteers receive training before they teach. 1. Volunteers - We need classroom volunteers who will inspire our students to stay in school and be successful. These business volunteers donate between six and ten hours (depending upon if they are teaching elementary, middle or high school classes). The teacher and volunteer determine the schedule that works best for the volunteer and the classroom. 2. Sponsors - there are a lot of sponsorship opportunities available. We have classroom sponsors for $500, grade level sponsors for $1500 and adopt-a-school sponsors for $5000. We have numerous sponsorship opportunities available in JA BizTown/JA Finance Park including a street sign for $25000, park bench for $25000 and pavilion beam for $15000 (all payable over a five year period). CEO/Executive Director Statement The mission of Junior Achievement (JA) is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. JA offers educational programs that focus on three pillars of success: entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy. Junior Achievement s financial literacy, work-readiness and entrepreneurship programs support youth, economic and education development as follows: Economic Development -Junior Achievement supports economic development by fostering the spirit of entrepreneurship in youth, and by instilling and modeling key business and work-readiness concepts such as leadership, teamwork and critical thinking. Leveraging these concepts helps young people succeed in the world of work, which contributes to the strength of local, regional and national economies. Youth Development -Junior Achievement empowers young people to succeed by providing mentorship opportunities and an environment in which to model the ethics concepts found in its programs. JA alumni are more confident they can succeed in a business environment than adults who did not have JA. Educational Development Junior Achievement helps students make the critical connections between classroom learning and life after graduation by enhancing the relevance of education. JA programs use experiential learning and role-modeling to reinforce key concepts. Board Chair Statement Junior Achievement offers a multitude of opportunities for volunteers. The classroom experience allows business and community leaders to stay involved through the teachers and students and provide a unique perspective in the learning experience for the children. Through Junior Achievement, the free enterprise system is further developed and enriched ensuring a bright future for American business and entrepreneurism. JA's success lies in our unique delivery model which contains four distinct advantages: Delivery System of diverse volunteers who serve as presenters in the classroom; Flexible, Proven Curriculum and activities enhanced by volunteers' personal experiences; Experience-Based Learning that enables students to gain knowledge through hands-on activities that shows the relationship between school learning and successful application; Volunteer and Teacher Training plus staff support, program resources and ongoing services.

6 Impact Impact Goals Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass is a non-profit organization focused on the promotion of the free enterprise system of business in order to develop the youth of our communities and enhance the education experience for our students. This goal is achieved through many activities including partnering with local school boards, classroom presentation, student interaction with business leaders, and development of our communities through volunteerism. Strategic Goals The strategic goals of the organization revolve around three primary areas: Establishing the Junior Achievement organization as the preferred brand or provider of business expertise to support the efforts of the local school boards. Promote Junior Achievement as a community asset and develop political support for development of such. Create or enhance an environment of volunteerism within the local business community focused on education and financial support for Junior Achievement. Strategies Tactical Approach Brand establishment in order to further develop and enhance the Junior Achievement brand, certain activities should be identified and executed: Identification of the characteristics of the JA brand, identifying our unique product i.e. financial literacy focused on 7 th and 9 th grades. Identification of the key stakeholders in the success of JA. Develop activities to promote awareness of JA in the community. Promotion of volunteerism as a community value develop business and community relationships which enhance the aspect of volunteerism as related to JA. Engage key partners within the communities served to drive board and volunteer participation. Promote volunteerism through volunteer campaign and marketing. Engage the local political regime(s) to further promote JA through volunteerism. Establish JA as a community asset introduce JA from an asset perspective, noting the long term value of the organization: Meet with business focused groups Chamber of Commerce, Economic development organizations, and local government officials to discuss JA as a strategic advantage.

Integrate JA into external community promotional efforts. 6

7 Capabilities Since 1963, Junior Achievement of the Bluegrass (JA) has been helping Kentucky s young people become prepared for their most successful futures for many years. In fact, as JA celebrated its 50 th Anniversary in 2013, it was exciting to report that we had already interacted with over 350,000 young people in more than 15,000 classrooms right here in Central Kentucky. Community investments have helped underwrite the costs associated with providing JA programs at no charge to the schools while business volunteers have donated their time to bringing the message of preparing for the life of their dreams to the Bluegrass Region s students. There are no other programs reaching our students that include the content and areas of emphasis that JA programs provide, resulting in increasing demand by our area schools yearly. With the support of positive adult role models who volunteer their time, JA enables students to understand business, citizenship, economics, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, ethics/character, and work readiness. Our programs also encourage confidence and motivate young people to achieve their personal, educational, and career goals. These learning experiences establish the foundation upon which today s students can acquire the skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in a fast-changing world. Junior Achievement s success lies in our unique delivery model which contains four distinct advantages: Delivery System of diverse volunteers who serve as presenters in the classroom. Flexible, Proven Curriculum supported by discussion guides and activity materials that are enhanced by volunteers personal experiences. Experience-Based-Learning that enables students to gain knowledge through a variety of ageappropriate, hands-on activities to help them understand the relationship between school learning and successful participation application - in our economy. Volunteer and Teacher Training that provides orientation programs each semester in addition to staff support, program resources, and ongoing services throughout the year. 7

8 Indicators After each Junior Achievement sequence, student pre- and post-learning assessments and teacher and consultant evaluations are submitted to Junior Achievement. The results are tabulated to measure learning outcomes and program successes, and opportunities for improvement are identified and addressed. Junior Achievement programs are independently evaluated on a scheduled basis to ensure the highest quality. Results from national evaluations show that Junior Achievement s programming has significant educational impact on students. Additional, longitudinal results demonstrate that extended involvement in Junior Achievement increases the positive effect of the program. Long-term gains are achieved through Junior Achievement learning, as well. In a study, Worldwide Institute for Research and Evaluation (WIRE), in collaboration with JA Headquarters Education Group, surveyed 750 Junior Achievement students when they were in the sixth-, ninth- or twelfth-grade. When asked to explain the free enterprise system, students who had participated in Junior Achievement demonstrated a much broader understanding and provided more sophisticated responses than did students who had not participated in Junior Achievement. When the Junior Achievement students were asked about their school and work attitudes, 86 percent of sixth-graders, 73 percent of ninth-graders, and 40 percent of twelfth-graders indicated that Junior Achievement had positively influenced their attitudes toward school. In addition, 79 percent of the ninth-grade students suggested that Junior Achievement had increased their positive attitudes toward working. In a follow-up study, WIRE surveyed the same 750 students when they were in the seventh-grade, tenth-grade, or first year post-high school. The more Junior Achievement programs the students had experienced, the more likely they were to report taking personal responsibility for their own behavior, a characteristic that has been correlated with success in adult life. The post-high school students also reported having benefited from Junior Achievement experiences, stating that Junior Achievement had affected the decisions they were currently making regarding preparing themselves for their careers and better prepared them to make future decisions. They indicated that Junior Achievement had provided them with information that was relevant to their classes and work roles, as well. Additionally, the seventh- and tenth-grade Junior Achievement students, as compared to students in general, were significantly more likely to believe they would graduate from high school, pursue postsecondary education, and graduate from college. The post-high school students also stated that Junior Achievement had affected the decisions they were currently making and better prepared them to make future decisions. 8

9 Progress Dr. Terry Holliday, former KY Department of Education Commissioner, recently made the following statement - "Junior Achievement inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy. From kindergarten through 12th grade, Junior Achievement's programs provide financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship education experiences to students that are both unique and exciting, yet fully correlate with the requisite standards of learning in Kentucky. Learning about economics - whether it is a concept as simple as "wants and needs" or as complex as "modern international trade" - is a valuable and enriching experience for students. The JA lessons are taught by adult role models from the local community, including businesspeople, parents, and university students. JA recruits volunteers throughout KY to educate children using both JA's professionally developed, time-proven curriculum, as well as the volunteer's own experiences from the professional world. Junior Achievement (JA) programs help support the Commonwealth s college/career-readiness goals for all students. Junior Achievement s classroom and lab-based programs foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy all skills that will help Kentucky students compete in the highly competitive, global marketplace. I applaud Junior Achievement s business partnerships which serve to strengthen JA s programs and provide our students with real world expertise that will benefit them as they enter college and the workforce. We are pleased to include Junior Achievement Programs on the Kentucky Department of Education s Best Practices Web page. As evidenced by the above statement, JA has made great strides in becoming the "preferred" provider of financial literacy and work readiness education. However, we continue to work on developing the Junior Achievement curriculum to be seen as a "community asset." At the end of the school year, we will gather all of the classroom evaluations that we have received from our students and teachers. This information will be categorized and will help us determine what is being learned through the student's JA experience. This document can then help us illustrate the power that the Junior Achievement curriculum coupled with the inspiring teaching of our business volunteers may have in developing our future leaders and entrepreneurs.. 9

18 Development / Fund Development / Fund Raising / Grant Writing / Major Gifts Strategic Planning / Strategic Direction Communications / Promotion / Publicity / Public Relations Program / Program Planning Comments CEO Comments Each year, more and more teachers request a Junior Achievement volunteer to teach their classroom. Unfortunately, it's increasingly difficult to find representatives from the business community who are able to teach these classes. Consequently, there are students each year who do not have the opportunity to be inspired by the JA curriculum and our volunteers. To combat this challenge, some of our volunteers have agreed to teach more than one class each year and the board has taken a more active role in the recruitment of volunteers. Brand establishment is also a challenge for JA. Many people know the Junior Achievement name, but few know how Junior Achievement impacts our students. As part of JA's strategic plan, a brand establishment task force has been created. An elevator speech has been created for the board and other initiatives are being explored. We also have created a task force that is exploring JA's role as a community asset. JA BizTown/JA Finance Park was opened in January of JA BizTown offers 5th grade students the opportunity to run a town. Each student has a job in which they receive a paycheck, deposit their check into their bank account and go shopping. Through this experience they learn about opportunities they would not have been introduced to in their everyday life and they also learn how an economy works and how money moves through an economy. Prior to coming to JA BizTown, students spend (11) hours in the classroom learning about the economy, financial literacy and they also complete a job application and interviews for the jobs available in JA BizTown. In JA Finance Park, students are given a life situation and then develop a budget based on the salary that life situation allows. They will make decisions about transportation, utilities, housing, insurance and banking based upon the salary they are given. Prior to coming to JA Finance Park, the students participate in (11) hours of classroom instruction preparing them for their visit. 18

21 CEO Comments Junior Achievement does an excellent job in managing expenses each year. Since 2008, JA's revenue picture has been challenging, but because we have never been an organization that spends a lot, the economic downturn did not affect us quite as severely as it may have other organizations. Our board has become increasingly more involved in our fundraising and development efforts since that time and we have been successful in recruiting new companies to join Junior Achievement's efforts. In 2012, our JA Board made the decision to embark on a capital campaign to bring a JA BizTown/JA Finance Park facility to Central Kentucky. We have been successful in that campaign and opened JA BizTown/JA Finance Park in January of This facility will be available to students throughout a 34-county area. 21
