Institutional Division hosted Junior Achievement Orange County Students at Office

During ��Ӱҵ’s Institutional Division’s annual all employee meeting in March, they welcomed 48 students from Western High School in Anaheim who participate in Pathways to Success program to learn about career paths and how companies like ��Ӱҵ operate.

��Ӱҵ Volunteers met directly with the students and discussed their educational and career paths, leadership tips, and ideas for building a secure financial future. Employees also completed a questionnaire about their role at ��Ӱҵ, what a day in their life at work looks like, and advice they would give their younger self. In the weeks following the office visit, the students’ teacher facilitated lessons centered around these questionnaires to supplement their in-person learnings about career paths and how companies like ��Ӱҵ operate. The 77 ��Ӱҵ Volunteers played a key role helping the students envision their future, be inspired by what success can look like, and be empowered by the many paths to get there.

By partnering with JA to bring JA Day to the students, ��Ӱҵ’s commitment to helping Kinoshita families become more financially stable is spanning multiple generations.

“ Participating in the Junior Achievement Program while interacting directly with the students at Kinoshita Elementary School with my amazing fellow ALAs volunteers was such a rewarding experience and loads of fun, I was impressed by the students’ thirst for learning and how much they enjoyed engaging in the educational activities with us. Seeing their excitement and being a part of their financial literacy learning journey is something I will cherish that will bring me back to future volunteer opportunities like these. „
