Junior Achievement Recognizes JA Young Professionals Board

In 2015, Junior Achievement of Lincoln (jalincoln.org) formed the JA Young Professionals Board of Directors. The Young Professionals Board of Junior Achievement of Lincoln is a group committed to advancing JA’s mission through promoting interest and generating support among Lincoln’s young professionals. This happened primarily through volunteer outreach and special event participation.

The JA Young Professionals Board recruited over 100 classroom volunteers this year and assisted in the JA Bowl-A-Thon and the JA Stock Market Challenge event in November. Junior Achievement is grateful for their dedication and commitment, which is to be applauded.
