TD Ameritrade and JA USA are partnering once again to invest in America’s youth. By continuing their support for 22 JA Areas they supported last year, TD Ameritrade has reaffirmed their commitment to empowering future generations.
The funding enables Junior Achievement to increase programming throughout the region as they deliver volunteer-led lessons about financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work readiness. With the generous funding from TD Ameritrade, Junior Achievement will be better equipped to engage additional community volunteers, reach more students in the five-county area, and publicize its impact to potential partners.
As part of this partnership, JA of Greater Washington received $10,000 in programatic support.
“We are extremely appreciative of the support of TD Ameritrade,” said Ed Grenier, President and CEO of Junior Achievement of Greater Washington. “This grant will allow us to help provide a greater number of students with the skills and knowledge necessary to be successful and reach their full potential.”
