The Parksville & District Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be working in partnership with Junior Achievement.

Junior Achievement (JA) is the world’s largest not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating youth about business and leadership. Junior Achievement has been active on Vancouver Island for nearly 15 years and each year provides programming to more than 6,000 school-aged youth in the region.

Junior Achievement partners with educators and business professionals to bring a real world experience into the classroom.  JA programs give students the confidence and skills they need to become the next generation of business and community leaders. All programs are facilitated by volunteers from the local business community and are provided at no cost to the schools and students.

Junior Achievement is seeking support from Chamber members to assist with upcoming programs at Springwood Middle School and Ballenas Secondary School. During school hours, visit a classroom and lead students through Junior Achievement curriculum while sharing your own real-world stories and experiences to help inspire our local youth to succeed.
