Give to the Max Day is Just One Week Away!

The calendar always seems to move at warp speed this time of year, and we cannot believe that Give to the Max Day is already one week away! Join us on Thursday, November 20th, as we set out to jumpstart student impact across our region, fueled by the generosity of people just like you.

Early giving is open, and we're thrilled to announce an anonymous $10,000 match from longtime JA North supporters to make your gift go further! If you're ready to support students, today is a perfect time to do it!

Over the past few weeks, Junior Achievement North’s President & CEO, Sara Dziuk, embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime journey across continents, representing JA North on the global stage through the JA Worldwide LEAD program. Her travels took her to Cairo, Egypt, and Manama, Bahrain, where she witnessed firsthand the transformative power of entrepreneurship education and youth empowerment.

This experience wasn’t just about travel; it was filled with connection, collaboration, and a chance to celebrate the incredible impact JA programs have on young people worldwide. We documented Sara's journey in our latest Field Notes blog post, and it's not to be missed!

Owatonna Welcomes Finance Park Mobile

Thanks to everyone who spent a sunny Wednesday morning with us at Riverland Community College for the official ribbon cutting to launch JA Finance Park Mobile in Owatonna! Today, students from Owatonna High School filled the room and spent the day learning about and preparing for the financial realities that await them in adulthood.

JA Finance Park will play a significant role in helping Minnesota high school students fulfill their financial education mandate, and we're grateful for communities like Owatonna that see our vision and partner with us to make it a reality!

A special thanks to Owatonna Mayor Matthew Jessop, along with Brad Meier & the Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism ambassadors, who helped mark this exciting new chapter of student impact across southern Minnesota and our entire region!

It's Always Volunteer O'Clock!
