JA Hosts Virtual Summit
Junior Achievement partnered with CNBC and Acorns for a virtual summit featuring 13 JA students – one being Bettendorf High School Student, Patrick Hurd, asking questions of a panel of experts related to economic disparity and ways to address it. As part of this effort, Junior Achievement surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. teens and found that a majority believe that people are paid less based on race, ethnicity, and gender and that it is more difficult for people of diverse backgrounds to get financing to start a business. Survey participants also believed that “education” is the best way to address economic disparity.
It's never too late to give the gift of hope!
