Underserved youth with limited access to education and employment opportunities face significant challenges in creating sustainable livelihoods. On the side of the UN General Assembly and the Summit of the Future, together with JA Worldwide and Junior Achievement USA and fantastic youth advocates, we looked at how we can strengthen and scale ecosystems and partnerships, integrate youth voices, and share best practices globally to support young visionaries in turning their projects into reality, like Odyek in Uganda (video ⬇). By harnessing the power of multi-sector partnerships, we can amplify our collective efforts and create impactful opportunities that empower and support young people in reaching their full potential. #EnablingSocialEquity #EmpowerYouth #YoungEntrepreneurs

Managing Director & Co-Head of Emerging Middle Market @ JPMorgan Chase Commercial Banking, Not for Profit Board Chair
Last week, I had the honor of leading my first Junior Achievement USA board meeting as Chair. I am grateful for the trust placed in me by our board members and dedicated staff to help steer this 100+ year-old organization. In the last fiscal year, JA USA and its 99 US Areas empowered over 4.5MM students nationwide to thrive in a global economy by equipping them with essential knowledge and skills for economic success, future planning, and wise academic and economic decision-making. Looking forward, we are excited about the ongoing integration of 3DE Schools and our new strategic plan--more measurable success lies ahead. Huge gratitude to Jack Harris, Alan Armstrong, Jack Kosakowski, and the entire JA USA team for their unwavering support and dedication. Together, we aim for even greater accomplishments!
