Episode Details

In this episode of Your Palm Beach Guide, we sit down with Katie Thompson, President and CEO of Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast, and Erica Henn, the organization's Vice President of Education, to talk about shaping the next generation.

Katie and Erica pull back the curtain on how Junior Achievement reaches more than 77,000 students a year with real-world learning in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship — including JA BizTown, where students run an entire working community of their own.

Their message is simple: building the next generation takes people who show up every day and refuse to let young people believe the life they want is out of reach.
