Bank of America Joins JA of Georgia in Their Goal to Spread Financial Literacy

Junior Achievement (JA) of Georgia is thrilled to announce a significant partnership with Bank of America, reinforcing their mission to spread financial literacy to students across the state. With

Bank of America’s generous support, JA of Georgia will continue to equip students with essential knowledge for the real world, such as understanding interest rates and the implications of taking out loans.

“We believe that financial literacy is a cornerstone of future success,” said Max Oligario, global commercial banking market executive at Bank of America Atlanta. “Our partnership with Junior Achievement of Georgia highlights our commitment to investing in the youth of our community. The hands-on experience for students creates an impact that will carry them into their future to help build key financial skills for success.”

The relationship between JA of Georgia and Bank of America spans many years, marked by Bank of America’s commitment to the cause. They have been steadfast partners, with a sponsored storefront location at the JA Chick-fil-A Discovery Center in Atlanta. Their support extends to 3DE by Junior Achievement, JA’s innovative high school program, among other initiatives.

Moreover, Bank of America consistently brings volunteers who are vital to our programs. Throughout the year, their employees volunteer their time and expertise, breathing life into JA of Georgia’s educational efforts. These business professionals provide students with valuable insights into new career pathways and adult responsibilities, sharing personal experiences to help the younger generation learn, grow, and step into adulthood better prepared.

Bank of America is a role model in volunteering at JA of Georgia. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the financial literacy of students across Georgia.
