NEW PROGRAM! Financial Literacy at your Fingertips!
GSMWVC is teaming up with Junior Achievement® to offer an exciting new financial literacy opportunity. 

JA is the world’ largest organization dedicated to educating young people about business, economics, and free enterprise and strives to “inspire kids to achieve at the business of life though community-based partnerships.”  Towards this goal, JA delivers age-appropriate curricula focusing on three pillars of student success: entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and work readiness. 

Through GSMWVC’s collaboration with JA, troop leaders, volunteers, and parents will have access to the full array of JA’s programs.  Click here for more information about the available programs and their target age-levels. 

All adults – troop leaders, volunteers and parents who registered prior to April 24, 2008 – are invited to an hour-long introductory session (May 13, 2008 7:00 p.m.) at the end of which all participants will receive the materials needed to provide the program for their troops. 
 
The JA program can then be run at the troop’s convenience, either in one session or by spreading out the activities across several weeks.
