State Farm YAB awards JA Dallas $25,000

Junior Achievement of Dallas, Inc. has been awarded $25,000 by the State Farm Youth Advisory Board as a part of their 2012 service learning grants set up to fund youth-driven projects. This grant allows JA to fund our High School Heroes project, where high school juniors and seniors volunteer teaching Junior Achievement’s Elementary School Program to students at neighboring elementary schools. Young students will have an opportunity to connect with positive high school role models from the community, and the student volunteers will get an opportunity to serve their community while getting a real look at the world of education.
