THE THINGS ROTARY CAN DO!

The Rotary Club of Hamilton is pleased to bring Junior Achievement back to Hamilton. Junior Achievement has been absent in Hamilton for over 15 years and the Rotary Club of Hamilton is bringing JA programs back to Hamilton youth.
 
The launch of programs took place in May as over 200 students in grade 6, 7 & 8 took part in JA programs. This phenomenal opportunity for young minds to be educated and understand the merits of what it takes to be a small business owner has returned. JA provides programs that focus on three key areas: work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. The Rotary Club of Hamilton is dedicated to supporting programs like JA because we believe in the importance of investing in our youth.
 
On May 26th, Rotary teamed up with the Hamilton Community Foundation and Junior Achievement to provide a Career Exploration Day – A World of Choices for the grade 6, 7 & 8 students at Cathy Wever School.  The day was filled with over 14 career speakers, a motivational speaker and ended the day with the Junior Achievement World of Choices Board Game.
 
The partnership with Junior Achievement is an opportunity to provide literacy and educational programing to youth while reaching JA alumni as potential future members.
