Did You Know?• With one of the highest dropout rates in the nation, Arizona’s kids are

dropping out at a rate of 48 per day.

• Of every 10 students entering Arizona high schools, only 7 graduate.

• According to Money Management International, young people ages 21-

25 are one of the fastest growing groups filing for bankruptcy.

• Employers report that nearly 70% of high school graduates are

deficient in critical thinking and problem solving.

• Economic education is only a half credit requirement upon graduation in Arizona, thus reducing the focus on the global economy and personal finance for students in our schools.

Why Volunteer?Workforce Readiness | Entrepreneurship | Financial Literacy

• Volunteers play a key role in bringing Junior Achievement to life.

• By sharing my personal and professional experiences and skills with students from my community, I help them make the connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life.

• Students in Arizona should know about the business world around them and all the opportunities available to them. I am the key to that knowledge. I am also there to be a role model to the students by illustrating where secondary education can lead them.

• I can give students a chance to be heard, share their ideas and give them support and encouragement.
