A new partnership to support youth on the Sunshine Coast!
Community Futures is partnering with Junior Achievement of BC and School District 46 to bring the JA experience to high school youth.
Junior Achievement of British Columbia (JABC) is a non-profit organization committed to inspiring and motivating BC’s children and youth to take an active role in their future through business education. To accomplish this goal, JABC works in partnership with dedicated business volunteers, educators, parents and the community to deliver programs to students in grades 5 - 12. JABC is taking the leading role to ensure British Columbia builds a solid foundation for our youth and future business leaders.
Programs offered on the Sunshine Coast will focus on entrepreneurialism and money management, and will encourage young people to value and develop leadership, teamwork, and decision making skills. Initial offerings will be Economics of Staying in School delivered to Grade 9/10 students in a one day session and The Company Program for Grades 10 to 12, which runs over 16 weeks and students develop, start up and operate their own company.
In order to accomplish this we need volunteers from the community to deliver the Programs at Sunshine Coast High Schools. If you would like to volunteer to be part of this exciting opportunity to inspire Sunshine Coast youth or would like more information please contact:
