Project Title: Junior Achievement Financial Literacy and Career Readiness
Project Description:

Junior Achievement of Southwest Virginia invites the Hermanowski Foundation to help us prepare the
next generation of Southwest Virginia residents to be financially empowered, productive members of our
community’s workforce. A grant in the amount of $10,000 will provide the necessary funding to help us continue to serve children in grades K-12 throughout Southwest Virginia. JA’s programs—in the core content areas of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy—ignite the spark in young people to experience and realize the opportunities and realities of work and life in the 21st century. This contribution will be used to support the costs of programming in the 2023-2024 school year including the purchase of program materials, staff training, recruitment and training of volunteers, and activity insurance.
