Have you wondered what is happening with JA this school year? Well....great news! We are up and running, working to deliver our Financial Literacy, Work Readiness, and Entrepreneurship programs to BC Youth. What does it look like in a COVID world? Below are the many different options for a student/teacher to access our programs. Some of them involved traditional aspects of our programs with a volunteer, some don't. If you are interested more, please contact your local JABC Interior team member to find out which formats are available in your community.

Yesterday, had a great day with the Provincial Finals of the Discovery Foundation's Discover Your Pitch Competition. 9 out of 21 teams of Gr 10-12 students made the Finals and pitched their business ideas virtually to an equally impressive group of judges. We streamed the whole thing at the link below. If you want to have something that will leave you hopeful of the next generation, this is a great place to start. The pitches were awesome!... https://www.gowebcasting.com//discover-y/play/stream/30040
