What a magnificent day! Thank you for the opportunity to speak to young women regarding my career journey!Junior Achievement of Southeastern Pennsylvania Quality Progressions

What a a meaningful and empowering morning at the JA Rising Women event today! Junior Achievement of Southeastern Pennsylvania hosted 100 young women from high schools in the The School District of Philadelphia joined by over 100 professional women volunteers from our sponsor companies. Together, they explored careers and potential journeys through workshops that included activities like resume building, personal branding, and informational interviews. The event opened with very inspiring welcoming words by Shanelle Smith from KeyBank, out Title Sponsor and new partner, followed by a very special keynote speaker, JOCELYN WRIGHT from PF Wealth Management Group LLC, who shared her personal journey with the audience. A fabulous discussion panel added energy to the event, moderated by Sharrie Williams, co-anchor of 6abc Action News, with the participation of Adrienne Hill, TERESA MARIE LUNDY, and our Board member Kate McArdle. We thank them all for their contributions today. Students showed their keen interest in the topic with their questions, as the theme was "Limitless Possibilities: Navigating Career Journeys". We need to highlight two very special guests who joined us this morning: Shania Bennett from Mayor Parker’s Office and Speaker Joanna McClinton from the PA House of Representatives, underscoring the relevance of the work JA does in our area! We thank you for believing in our mission! The event was a true success, thanks to each and every one of our participants. This could not have been possible without our generous sponsors this year, who we thank over and over: KeyBank as our Title Sponsor! Airgas, Johnson & Johnson, and Wells Fargo, as our Empowerment Sponsors! Johnson, Kendall & Johnson, JPMorganChase, Lincoln Investments, Lockheed Martin, Morgan Lewis, Philadelphia Works, Inc., PwC, RSM and Staples as our Visionary Sponsors! Bank of America, Citizens, KPMG, M&T Bank, Pfizer, Philadelphia Insurance Companies and Seer Interactive as our Leadership Sponsors! EY and IUPAT DC21 as our Role Model Sponsors!

With rising costs and only about half of Americans financially literate, the need for financial education has never been greater. At Junior Achievement, we believe financial literacy is just as fundamental as reading and writing. In fact, over two-thirds of JA alumni aged 18-29 are financially independent—a testament to the impact of our programs. Join us in preparing the next generation with the skills for a successful financial future. #FinancialEducation #JAAlumni #FutureReady
