Mission & Areas Served Statements Mission Statement The mission of Junior Achievement is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Junior Achievement brings business back to the classroom by providing programs to promote financial literacy, inspire entrepreneurship, and prepare students (K-12) for success in a 21st century workplace. By connecting classrooms with business and community volunteers in a hands-on learning environment, we equip Kansas City's next generation wih the skills they need for a prosperous future. Junior Achievement's Core Values are: Belief in the boundless potential of young people. Commitment to the principles of market-based economics and entrepreneurship. Passion for what we do and honesty, integrity, and excellence in how we do it. Respect for the talents, creativity, perspectives, and backgrounds of all individuals. Belief in the power of partnership and collaboration. Conviction in the educational and motivational impact of relevant, hands-on learning. Background Statement The Junior Achievement movement was founded nationally in 1919 when Theodore N. Vail, president of AT&T, moved forward with a vision to help youth understand fiscal management. The Company Program was offered to high school students on an after-school basis. Today, Junior Achievement is represented throughout the United States, reaching millions of youth annually, instilling practical concepts and experiences in financial literacy. In 1955, Kenneth A. Spencer founded Junior Achievement in Kansas City, which began with the JA High School program involving 255 students and 40 volunteers. By the 1983-84 school year, the numbers had grown to 2,120 students and 423 volunteers along with an additional 1,119 students and 146 volunteers in its outlying operations. Throughout the years we have grown to serve nearly 18,000 students annually within the community. 3

Impact Statement The top accomplishments for Junior Achievement of Middle America (JAMA) during the 2015-2016 fiscal year included the following: 1. JAMA reached and impacted 21,243 students in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area with nationallydeveloped curriculum, providing practical information and experiential learning opportunities that enabled the students to better understand financial literacy, plan for a successful career, and consider an entrepreneurial venture. JAMA increased student outreach by 18.1% from the 2014-2015 school year, exceeding our projected goal. 2. Developed a grade level approach within the Kansas City Public School District, delivering JA Our Region programming to every fourth grade student in the district. This initiative alone impacted 1,034 students in 46 classrooms. JA Our Region is an interdisciplinary program that introduces fourth grade students to entrepreneurship and upper elementary grade social studies learning objectives, including regions, resources, supply chains, and problem solving. The program provides students with a practical approach to starting a business while preparing them to be entrepreneurial in their thinking and to meet the requirements of a demanding and ever-changing workforce. 3. Created a marketing committee of the Board of Directors and partnered with Americorps to add a VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) position to assist in building capacity and increasing awareness for the organization. During the past year, JAMA has made great strides to build engagement with our community by establishing a consistent voice to tell the JA story. JAMA also developed mission-focused messaging across the organization as well as numerous branded collateral materials to aid in the organization's fundraising and volunteer recruitment efforts. 4. Junior Achievement practiced strong fiduciary responsibility with large increases in contributed support from corporations and individuals, as well as special event giving. While carefully managing expenses, JAMA lowered the cost per student from $37 in FY15 to $33.81 per student in FY16, as well as ending the fiscal year exceeding budgeted revenue goals. Organizational goals for the 2016-2017 fiscal year include: 1.Expand K-5 outreach in Title I schools to achieve 24,500 total student outreach. 2.Expand job shadow programs at middle school level (grades 6-8) 3. Implement JA Signature/Capstone Programs including online simulations and traditionally delivered programs. 4.Establish new sources of revenue. 5. Strengthen and build the Junior Achievement Board of Directors through diversification, experience, passion, and commitment to the mission. Needs Statement At the present time, the most pressing needs for Junior Achievement include the following: 1. Loaned Professional Expertise - in our ongoing effort to be as fiscally efficient as possible, we'd like to secure professional expertise from corporate partners on a pro-bono basis in certain areas, such as advertising or marketing. This would be on a project-basis, and would, ideally, help get us started, instilling ideas and infrastructure. 2. Additional staff support for programs. The growth of our organization is rapidly expanding. The need for the programs we provide is great. In order to keep up with the rate of our growth and the demand for our programs, additional staff is needed to support the program department's efforts to achieve our goal to reach 24,500 in fiscal year 2017 and 30,000 students by the end of our fiscal year in 2018. 3. Volunteers to teach in the classroom. Each year, more and more teachers are requesting Junior Achievement be taught in their classroom. Unfortunately, many requests cannot be fulfilled because there are not enough volunteers to teach. Junior Achievement would like to have a large pool of individuals who we can go to when these opportunities come available. Junior Achievement is creating new & innovative approaches to meet the demands of day-time volunteer needs. 4

CEO/Executive Director/Board Chair Statement At JA, we celebrate the future success of youth by providing them with knowledge about money how to get money and how to keep money; skills to plan for an exciting career; the opportunity to consider a hot new business; and the motivation to make smart academic, economic, and leadership decisions. And with all the financial chaos on the planet, there is no better time to support our young people than now! As one of our former board members has stated, There is no better time for JA than now, and there is no more important mission for a youth-serving nonprofit than JA. As we move from an industrial economy to the knowledge or innovation economy, it is imperative that our young people understand the value of money, are prepared to meet the demands of the new workforce, and have a unique opportunity to consider starting a new exciting business. Kansas City s future work force is in the classroom today. The next generation of entrepreneurs, like the Helzbergs, Mr. Kauffman, or the Bloch brothers, are in the classroom today. The future strength of the Kansas City region s economy is dependent upon us preparing our young people for some of the greatest challenges any generation has ever seen. JA is not just another fad or great youth idea. We see our mission as a call to action. If we don t get this mission done, our future as a region suffers and will lag behind other American and international regional economies. Our challenge to meet is great. Like many nonprofits, we need resources to reach as many students as we can each year. While our priority is to reach students in Title 1 classrooms (schools in which the majority of students qualify for free and reduced meals), we are very eager to reach students in all areas of the metro. We believe that all students, no matter their families' socioeconomic status, must learn the value of money, especially as we approach a cashless society. The financial resources required to reach as many students as possible are great and a challenge we work with daily. Our other challenge is welcoming and retaining volunteers to teach our nationally-recognized curriculum. We need an army of adults to arm themselves with the great message. Our work is for people who care deeply about how we educate the next generation and are willing to invest in those lives. For more information on volunteering, please feel free to go to our website (www.jagkc.org) or visit us on social media at the following locations: @jakansascity, www.facebook.com/jakansascity, and hwww.linkedin.com/company/juniorachievement-of-greater-kansas-city. We know donors have many options to support well-deserved nonprofits in our region. As a result, we greatly appreciate your interest in helping us prepare area young people with the skills and confidence they will need to be successful in a global innovative economy. Thanks again for your interest and we look forward to our partnership with you. Service Categories Elementary & Secondary Schools Youth Development-Business Areas of Service Areas Served 5

CEO Comments At Junior Achievement, we continuously monitor education trends to ensure that our programs complement and reinforce classroom learning and align with future workforce needs and state education learning standards. It is increasingly evident that in order for the United States to compete and succeed in the global marketplace, there exists an urgency to prepare students for innovative and 21st century careers - such as science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as well as entrepreneurial ventures. We actively seek to engage volunteers who are currently working in 21st century careers to facilitate JA programs and share their personal work experiences, providing students with real-world examples. JA has incorporated STEM career-related concepts into several of our existing programs, and we are committed to incorporating relevant STEM and entrepreneurial elements into new programs we develop. We know the traditional classroom model doesn t work for every student but there are programs we can implement during classroom time to link learning to the real world and strengthen our future workforce and create jobs in the process. At Junior Achievement, we give young people from kindergarten through the 12 th grade the knowledge and skills they need to plan for their future and make smart academic and economic choices. JA programs complement the hard work and dedication that teachers are putting into educating their students. JA helps students envision the possibilities of what they can be by helping them see the value of staying in school. Our interactive curriculum engages and excites students, leading to stronger critical thinking and decision-making skills and more confidence. JA programs are delivered by trained corporate and community volunteers who share their skills and personal and professional experiences to make learning come to life. Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City has been educating K-12 students about entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy since 1955. Throughout the years we have grown and in school year 2017-2018 we will engage over 24,500 students in Junior Achievement programs. For more information about JA and how 12

Marketing Finance Investment CEO Comments Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City has a strong Board of Directors, and organized structure of Board committees, and a good system of checks and balances. In recent years, we have experienced a 25% increase in demand for financial literacy education from area schools and community centers. In response, our Board has provided oversight through the growth to make sure our agency has developed a strong fundraising plan to match the demand for services. In order to meet the increased demand, we are increasing operational efficiencies, expanding the revenue streams and diversifying donor choices. Our Board members have committed to personal efforts in development calls and more members of the board have become more engaged in our efforts in a variety of ways. The Board has also provided oversight on program quality. Quality control measurements have been implemented for teacher evaluations and volunteer evaluations. The Board recognizes the lifeline that volunteers bring to Junior Achievement. Without volunteers, there is no JA programming.
