Junior Achievement (JA) of Lincoln (lincoln.ja.org) is excited to recognize the Top 10 outstanding local business partners who provided the most volunteers to teach Junior Achievement lessons during the 2020-21 school year. Combined, these businesses and their employees reached nearly 250 classrooms and 5,000 students across Lincoln. JA students benefit from financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship programs that are proven to help them get prepared for real life in the real world. The Top 10 JA Lincoln business partners this year include:
- Ameritas Life Insurance Corporation
- Capital One Financial Corporation
- Fiserv
- Hudl
- Legacy Retirement Communities
- Lincoln Industries
- Molex
- Sandhills Global
- Union Bank & Trust
- West Gate Bank
Because of the strong partnerships with these local businesses, every Junior Achievement of Lincoln classroom had its own community volunteer to connect with students via Zoom and receive the complete Junior Achievement experience. JA of Lincoln is on target to reach more than 1,000 classrooms and 22,000 students this school year and are one of few JA areas in the nation still delivering in-class programs at such a high rate. None of these successes would have been possible without these devoted business partners and their wonderful employees, who partnered with JA to bring community connection and inspirational, meaningful lessons to thousands of Lincoln students.
