WABASH COUNTY, IN- During the 2021-2022 School year Schools in Wabash, Miami and Fulton Counties were all able to be a part of the Junior Achievement Biz Town opportunity. The students traveled to Fort Wayne for a day of fun and learning. Many students went home with the knowledge of knowing how hard their parents work each day and how their paychecks work after you earn them.
The Duke Energy Foundation was able to donate $2,500 towards these events and helped to make it possible for these students to learn what it was like to be a part of a real city, hold a job, pay bills and have a little responsibility. Many kids are very tired by the time they go home but tend to appreciate their parents just a little bit more.
To volunteer in the classroom, at Biz Town or Finance Park please reach out to Beth Miller, Area Manager at 574-551-4698 or Beth.Miller@ja.org.
