Junior Achievement Volunteers Teach Kujawa Elementary Students About Business

Disponible en:

Junior Achievement visited kindergarten students at Kujawa Elementary School Thursday, April 18. Junior Achievement is a nonprofit organization that brings real-world applications to students through a hands-on curriculum to help them understand business and economics. Junior Achievement also works to close the workforce skills gap by teaching students how to apply the knowledge they learn in the classroom to real-world problems and equip them with skills needed to succeed in a global economy and life.

The organization works in partnership with business volunteers who use their personal experiences to make the Junior Achievement curricula practical and realistic.

Volunteers from Woodforest National Bank and the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers spent the morning teaching Kujawa Elementary’s kindergarten students about money management and how business works. The students also enjoyed demonstrating their comprehension of the concepts taught by using play money to buy specific items.
