Fall Volunteers Needed! 🍎📚

Last school year, Junior Achievement of the Heartland served 64,066 local students, and we couldn’t do it without amazing volunteers like you!

As we head into a new school year, we’re looking for volunteers to bring JA’s hands-on learning experiences into classrooms across our communities. You’ll help students build skills in financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship.

Ready to make a difference this fall? Volunteer with JA and help inspire the next generation! 💙

✨70 Years of Impact: Stories That Shape Junior Achievement 💙

Sometimes, the moments that make the biggest impact are the simplest ones.

For one longtime JA volunteer, it’s the laughter of first graders, the joy of teaching, and the chance to return to the same classrooms year after year. From JA-in-a-Day to traditional learning experiences, Ashley has seen firsthand how a JA lesson can spark curiosity, create connection, and leave a lasting impression on both students and teachers.

As we celebrate 70 years of JA impact, we’re celebrating the volunteers who keep showing up and making those moments possible.

Read Ashley's JA story and see why she keeps coming back. https://bit.ly/49RdjMf

💰 Happy Financial Awareness Day!

Financial literacy is an important life skill, and Junior Achievement is helping students build those skills from an early age! Through hands-on learning experiences, students learn how to budget, save, spend wisely, make financial decisions, and understand the connection between money and their future.

From the classroom to Junior Achievement BizTown® and Junior Achievement Finance Park®, JA gives students opportunities to practice real-world financial decision-making in engaging ways.

Because preparing students for success isn't just about what they learn in school. It's about giving them the skills and confidence to make smart choices for their future. 💙💰

Celebrating 25 Years! 🎉

Help us celebrate an incredible milestone for Tawnya and Stacy, who are celebrating 25 years with Junior Achievement of the Heartland! 💙

Their dedication, passion, and commitment have helped make a lasting impact on students, volunteers, and our communities. We are so grateful for everything they have contributed to JA and excited to celebrate this amazing achievement! And we can’t forget all the giggles they bring to the office with “Tawnya math” and Stacy’s trilingual speaking—if you know, you know! 🤣

Congratulations, Tawnya and Stacy! Here’s to 25 years of making a difference and many more to come! 👏🎉

✨70 Years of Impact: Stories That Shape Junior Achievement 💙

Nearly 30 years. Countless classrooms. And an impact that lasted long beyond the school day.

Mike Huntley began volunteering with Junior Achievement in the late 90s and continued until retiring from the classroom in 2024. Over the years, he taught alongside the same educator, built connections with students, and collected more thank you cards than he could count.

Mike’s story is a reminder that the impact of a JA volunteer can last for years. What starts as a few hours in a classroom can become a memory, a connection, or a moment that a student carries with them long after the lesson is over.

Read Mike’s story and hear about the memories, connections and moments that made volunteering with JA so meaningful.

✨70 Years of Impact: Stories That Shape Junior Achievement 💙

What starts with a paycheck can end with a whole new sense of possibility.

For more than 25 years, Junior Achievement of the Heartland and Quad City Career & Technical Education Consortium (QCCTEC) have partnered to create meaningful, hands-on experiences that help students discover what they're capable of. Through real-world learning, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed, students build confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.

As we celebrate 70 years of Junior Achievement, we're proud to share stories like this that remind us that confidence often begins with a single opportunity.
