Future Bound by Junior Achievement 2026 brought together an inspiring community of young leaders, and we couldn’t be prouder of our local students from Greater Latrobe School District who competed in the national JA Stock Market Challenge at Boston University!

Beyond the competition, students connected with peers from across the country, participated in engaging workshops, and experienced real-world learning through company site visits. From navigating a fast-paced stock market simulation to exploring career paths and hearing directly from industry professionals, every moment was packed with insight, growth, and inspiration.

Real‑world learning starts early. 💙 At JA, we know that introducing money concepts young helps students connect learning to life and sets them up for what’s next. We're proud to continue this annual tradition, bringing students together to learn, lead, and grow through hands-on financial education.

Students from Greater Latrobe School District recently had the opportunity to experience careers in the skilled trades at , thanks to the support of one of our storefront partners, Mascaro Construction Company, LP. Mascaro helped make the day possible by bringing together local unions, associations, and organizations to participate in this impactful experience.

Through hands‑on activities and direct interaction with trade professionals volunteering throughout our Experiential Learning Center, students gained insight into what it takes to work in the trades and the wide range of career opportunities available within these fields.

Thank you to all partners for helping these students imagine what's possible for their futures.
