Share the American Dream
Share the American Dream Campaign Keeps Junior Achievement Relevant Long Term
Jim Gallogly, retired CEO of LyondellBasell and current Junior Achievement of Southeast Texas (Houston) Board Member, has been committed to Junior Achievement (JA) for as long as he can remember. Through the years, Jim has become more and more involved, as he is a firm believer that "a good education is about as fundamental a thing as there is." It wasn't long ago that Jim's granddaughter and her use of technology inspired him to go one step further and support JA's Share the American Dream Campaign, which is helping to transform the organization's delivery of programs through the use of blended learning.
The partners below have invested in our students through Share the American Dream.

Junior Achievement USA
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. JA programs are delivered by corporate and community volunteers, and provide relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship. Today, JA reaches over 4.8 million students per year in more than 100 markets across the United States, with an additional 5.6 million students served by operations in over 100 countries worldwide.
Why JA?
At JA, we strive to help young people move from a sense of "I Can't" to "I Can" by fostering self-belief and a sense of purpose necessary to improve their circumstances. This is accomplished by using a scientifically proven model to influence knowledge and attitudes in ways that increase self-efficacy. JA does this by utilizing volunteer role models and proven programs to inspire and prepare young people to succeed through greater comprehension of how money, careers, and business ownership works. The video below further illustrates this approach:
Proof of Impact
JA recently completed an extensive survey of JA Alumni. These former students credit JA for positively impacting their lives. The survey found that when compared to the general population, JA Alumni are more likely to have graduated high school and college, earn more, and are more inclined to have started a business. View the complete report.
Project and Annual Funding
Junior Achievement could not prepare young people to succeed in a global economy or empower young people to own their economic success without our donors. Every single dollar makes a difference and all donations to JA USA help to continually evolve JA's enriching programs at a national and local level. The corporations, foundations, and individuals listed below have provided Junior Achievement with funding in 2015-2016. Select a level to view its members:

Volunteer Service Award
The U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award is a presidential recognition program created in 2003 by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation for individuals of all ages who contribute a significant amount of time to volunteer service. In 2006, Junior Achievement became an official certifying organization for this award because of its national reach and standing. This status allows JA to bestow this honor to corporations with a U.S. presence that provide volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere in the world.
