Dear JA Supporters,

Your support is at the heart of Junior Achievement’s mission of making possibilities become real for our local students. Despite thisbeing one of the most challenging economic periods in U.S. history, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin, Inc. served a recordnumber of children in 2008/2009. Only with your support anddedication is this success possible. Thank you!

There has never been a time in our nation's history when aneconomic and financial understanding of our own personal finances,our communities finances and the global economy is so important.Junior Achievement’s purpose is to educate and inspire young peopleto succeed in the global economy. To accomplish this, we workedharder and smarter to meet the new educator requests for JA. Webecame a more efficient and effective organization.

We focused on what we do best: motivating community volunteers toshare their experiences and reinforce the values of workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy with young people.And in this challenging environment, JA students give renewed energy to volunteers through their enthusiasm and optimism.

While we continue to keep our eyes on the future, we remain vigilantregarding the current environment and our responsibility and accountability to you, our constituents: our donors, our Board ofDirectors, volunteers, educators and students.

The future is bright and full of opportunity to provide Wisconsin youthwith deeper and richer JA experiences. The JA Capstone programs,JA BizTown™ and JA Finance Park,™ have a lasting impact onstudents. With special thanks for lead gifts from the NorthwesternMutual Foundation and The Bradley Foundation, our Capstone projectis coming closer to being a reality.

Join us in celebrating all that was good about 2008/2009. We areproud of what we have accomplished - together. Your continuedloyalty to the values of free enterprise and the opportunities that itprovides our children is appreciated. The experiences you help toprovide our young people through Junior Achievement are invaluableto all of our futures.

Sincerely,

Fiscal responsibility is ourcommitment to the philanthropiccommunity. Though a not-for-profit, we are still a businesswith the main objective togenerate a return oninvestments; returns notmeasured with capital gains butin lives inspired. Therefore,annually we monitor programimplementation and outcomesnext to the financial bottom line.

The first chart shows thesources or methods used toobtain organizational revenue.It is important to note that allthe revenue is from privatefunding - corporations, individuals and foundations.

We have stayed in touch with the youth of today, developing and revisingactivities that continue to challenge students. We have also worked to remain abreast ofschool curriculum needs and state learning standards to ensure that Junior Achievementprograms continue to be a valued part of the classroom.

We continue to emphasize flexibility in meeting the needs and expectations of the menand women who volunteer their time to provide these programs. Junior Achievement hascontinued to make a difference by changing its programs, updating them in a variety ofways to meet the interests, expectations and the needs of today's young people,educators and business volunteers.

Junior Achievement's kindergarten through 12th grade age-appropriate programs helpyouth have a better understanding of business and economics and offer positiveinteractions with caring adults. Junior Achievement students are more likely to relate therelevance of educational attainment to increased job opportunities, develop positiveattitudes toward business, and make informed personal finance decisions.

With this information, students are more likely to understand the economic impact ofnational issues, the local economy and their personal finances, and they will be more likely to set positive goals for their futures. In the long term, students are better preparedand more self-sufficient citizens, voters, consumers, employees and employers.

For students in kindergarten through 5th grade, the elementary school programs help students learn the basic concepts of business and economics and how education is relevant to the workplace. Programs prepare students for secondary school andlifelong learning.

With a focus on personal finance and the global economy, middle grade students areintroduced to many economic concepts and useful facts about the working world.Students learn how to best prepare for their educational and professional future.

JA high school student programming offers practical skills and interactive simulations withadult role models who encourage positive values, ethical decision-making, career and lifeexploration. Programs help students make informed, intelligent decisions about theirfuture, and fosters skills that will be useful upon graduation.

The article,Raising Kids Who Can Thrive Amid Chaos in Their Careers cites areport from the Junior Achievement Innovation Initiative (JAII) andGallup. This report shows employers and employees believeAmerica's workforce needs to become more "entrepreneurial" for thecountry to remain competitive in the global marketplace and K-12classrooms are the place to start teaching entrepreneurship. This isconsistent with President Barack Obama's call for "entrepreneurship"to be included with "problem-solving" and "critical thinking" as 21stcentury skills to be incorporated into JA education standards.
