A Message from our CEO

A Message from Junior Achievement CEO, Jennifer Burk

"There is no doubt that thousands of local families and children, especially students of color and low-income populators, face unjust barriers to a quality educator during a 'normal' time. . . . We owe it to our kids and community to provide our greatest attention and resources to address these inequalities."
