Dear JA Supporters,
It's hard to believe another school year has already started! With a new year comes new opportunities to share the JA message with our young people. JA programs fit easily into teachers' lesson plans and volunteers' work schedules.
Teachers can sign up to host JA programs here and volunteers can get involved here. It's also not too late to register your school to participate in JA BizTown.
The hope of our future is in the hands of our kids. That hope starts right here with JA.
Sincerely,
Trent Klingensmith
President, JA of Middle Tennessee
