Inspiring Students to Achieve
JUNIOR ACHIE V E M E NT OF C H I C A G O 2 0 1 2 AN N UAL RE PORT
Junior Achievement of Chicago is an educational nonprofit bringing financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship
programs into classrooms from kindergarten through high school. JA of Chicago is the largest JA office of more than 120
area offices in the United States and reached an all-time high of 431,281 students during the 2011-2012 school year.
JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT of CHICAGO PILLARS
FINANCIAL LITERACY
University education price tag steadily
climbing, while most teens do not
understand basic personal finance
WORK READINESS
Uncertain economy and number of jobs requiring
postsecondary education is on the rise
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Employees increasingly value workplace
entrepreneurship and unemployment
rates are encouraging young people to
become more entrepreneurial
Today, students need an educational experience that gives them
confidence about their future and skills to succeed in the global economy
OUR IMPACT
Partnerships and support from corporations, small businesses, universities, foundations, service clubs and individuals allows JA to bring volunteers and programs
to local classrooms. JA trains volunteers to deliver our educational materials, which are provided at no cost to the students or schools.
JA programs show students the value of an education, bridge the gap of what they are learning in the
classroom with the real world, and equip them with the skills and tools they need to be more successful
in school and their future careers.

To Our Valued Investors
and Friends
Every parent’s dream is for their children to have a better life than they did. Yet with the challenge
of financing advanced education becoming more difficult each passing year and the job market
and our economy remaining uncertain, young people today are less confident that they can achieve
this dream.
A 2012 survey commissioned by Junior Achievement USA revealed that only 56 percent of teens
between the ages of 14 and 18 years believe they will be as financially well-off as their parents.
And despite the widespread belief that advancing to higher levels of education beyond high school
is a necessity for future success, a report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development shows that the United States continues to lose ground in this area, compared to
other developed countries.
The need for your support of our programs has never been greater. We are pleased to report that
JA of Chicago reached 431,281 students (25% market penetration and a 5% increase over the prior
year) in our 12-county outreach area in Chicago and the suburbs. With your continued investments
and support, we will expand our programs by focusing on JA’s three pillars of success for our youth:
financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.
We encourage you to stay updated on our progress throughout the year by visiting our website at
www.jachicago.org and through social media on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or LinkedIn.
Thank you for supporting Junior Achievement of Chicago.

With the obstacles young people face today, there has never been a more crucial time for students
to take control of their own futures, and understand that their own choices related to work readiness,
money management skills, and business ventures will shape our communities and our economy
for decades to come.

LEADERSHIP
Our Volunteers
Bridging the gap between the office and the classroom
The success of our classroom programs is driven by the dedication of our volunteers. Our volunteers serve as positive
corporate and community role models to students and help them bridge the gap between what they learn in school
and what they can expect in the world of work.
Volunteering with JA:
it’s simple and rewarding
Flexible scheduling
Training, lesson plans, and classroom materials provided by JA
Bring your enthusiasm, share your professional and life experiences,
and spend your day with kids
“I have been participating in JA for several years and I have learned more from the students than I could ever
have taught them. It is so refreshing to see so many bright young people eager to soak up information.”

OUR PROGRAMS
Hands-on, fun programs that inspire youth
Junior Achievement’s programs begin in elementary school and continue through high school. Our programs help
students see the connection between what they learn in school and the working world — enhancing the relevance
of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
More than

Our curriculum, developed and tested by Junior Achievement USA, is packaged in complete, self-contained kits
that include detailed lesson plans and supplemental materials for volunteers to effectively deliver lessons.

The Junior Achievement elementary school programs include grade-specific lesson themes for kindergarten through fifth-grade students.
Elementary school programs teach students the basic concepts of business and economics and how education is relevant to the workplace.
The programs teach young students that people assume roles as individuals, consumers, and workers in their family, community, and the world
around them. Sequential activities build on studies from each preceding grade and prepare students for secondary and lifelong learning.

JA flagship program continues to inspire students
Each year, JA of Chicago awards high school students who participated and competed in the flagship JA
Company program, which challenges high school students to take on “officer” roles while running their
own company. This year, the Company of the Year award went to “Inkspot,” which is a magazine written,
produced and marketed by Lemont High School Students.
David Nelms, Chairman and CEO of Discover Financial Services, presented the 2012 Company of the Year award
to “Inkspot.”
2012 Scholarship Awards
Providing over $100,000 to exceptional students
Each year, JA gives thousands of dollars in scholarships and awards to exceptional students who have
participated in JA programs. This year, we provided more than $100,000 in scholarships and awards to
24 outstanding high school students. The top award, the Colonel Henry Crown Scholarship, provides
$20,000 over the course of four years at an accredited college and includes a paid summer internship
at a Henry Crown affiliated company.

“As my senior year comes to a close, I cannot imagine leaving the company, team, and Junior Achievement
program that we have founded and built. In addition to the financial assistance offered by this scholarship…
the summer internship will be invaluable to my dreams of studying international business. I am confident that
my experiences with Junior Achievement will continue for the rest of my life.”
