2018–2019 IMPACT REPORT
 GREETINGS
I remember the stories
my grandfather shared
with me about his life
as a young man: his
first job, the long train
ride to the German port
where he boarded a ship
for America, his arrival
Michael Frohna at Ellis Island. Most
striking in my mind is
that all of his stories involved a person who reached
out and helped him during each step of his journey.
Occasionally, I ponder my fate had the advice given to my
grandfather been different than what he received. How
would my story have changed?
At Junior Achievement, we are in the business of helping
stories of all kinds come to life. Programs, such as
JA Jump into My Future®, encourage Marcy and her
classmates to explore careers they have never heard
about. The impact of a volunteer’s story is a “light-
bulb moment” for Domingo, an eighth-grader, when
he understands the value of budgeting. Rebecca and
students just like her learn about the cost of raising a
family in JA Finance Park®.
Real Stories. Real People. Real Impact.
The stories on the pages that follow bring more Junior
Achievement moments to life. I hope you enjoy them and
that you are inspired by the impact you are helping us
make.
On behalf of all of my co-workers, thank you for your
support, your commitment to Junior Achievement, and
for inspiring and preparing our students for their futures.
With gratitude,
Michael Frohna
President, Junior Achievement of Wisconsin
P.S. If you are so inclined to become a part of these success stories as a financial
partner or volunteer, please reach out. I’d love to hear from you, mfrohna@jawis.org.

IN THE NEWS
JA Celebrates 100 Years
In 1919, three industrialists from Springfield, Massachusetts
founded Junior Achievement (JA) in response to families moving
from farms to growing industrial cities. JA’s goal was to give
young people the skills they needed to become successful adults in
their new communities.
Over the past 100 years, Junior Achievement has evolved into a
multinational organization, annually reaching more than 10 million
students in 100 countries, with programs that promote career and work

As part of JA’s Centennial Celebration, Made Possible: The Business of
Junior Achievement, is airing nationwide on PBS. The hour-long documentary

 Students & Alumni
SETTING A CAREER PATH
Lisa Vander’s entrepreneurial experiences started in high school.
“My exposure to Junior Achievement at such a young age really set
the course of my entire career,” she says. Lisa’s first JA volunteer
mentor was an environmental engineer at a sewage treatment
plant where earthworms were used to repurpose human sewage
into organic fertilizer. In 1979, this safe and odorless fertilizer was
a unique concept. Inspired by her volunteer mentor, Lisa started
her own business, Fertile Feed, in her parent’s garage. Selling
her product door-to-door, people admired and supported Lisa’s
business ambitions, especially as a high school student. Lisa went
on to own a national educational company, receive two degrees
in business innovation, and is now pursuing a doctorate in job
creation to serve youth. (JA – Coulee)
JA BizTown® Entrepreneur
Jayden Bowman, a Milwaukee area 5th grade student, was so
excited to apply at JA BizTown’s® Culver’s restaurant, a program at
the Junior Achievement Kohl’s Education Center, that he set out to
investigate what a manager does at his local Culver’s in Greenfield.
“I was very nervous to go in to Culver’s and ask about a job as a
manager,” said Jayden. Impressed by his initiative, the Culver’s general
manager wrote a letter of recommendation for Jayden’s JA BizTown
application. Jayden’s teacher said, “The JA BizTown program really
sparked an interest [in Jayden]. In seven years of doing this program,
no student has put in as much work as he has.” Jayden’s hard work
paid off. He earned the position of food manager at Culver’s in JA
BizTown and has a future job at Culver’s waiting for him in high school.
(JA – Metro Milwaukee)
Junior Achievement’s Lifelong Impact
Matt Meis grew up with Junior Achievement and has no doubt about
JA’s role in his success. His entrepreneurial spirit was first kindled
in 2nd grade with the help of JA programs and volunteers. In high
school, Matt started his own neighborhood computer repair business
and in college volunteered with JA in many classes. He received
the JA College Scholarship and the Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Scholarship for his efforts.
Today, Matt still owns his computer company and has expanded his
work life into the banking industry. As a JA volunteer, Matt has found
courage for public speaking and discovered he learns just as much
from his experiences as the students. “To give back is remarkable,”
Matt says. “JA volunteers and programs have had a profound impact
on my career and my life.” (JA – Portage & Wood Counties)

Character and Career Paths
Robert Holland’s dream is to be CEO of a hedge fund company and, of
course, volunteer with Junior Achievement. Robert is a freshman at
UW-Madison majoring in finance, and he says that from kindergarten
onwards, JA classes formed his interest in business. “The high school
JA Business Challenge simulation made me feel right at home…the
exciting part of the game was learning how business works in the real
world.” Robert’s team won the 2019 Sheboygan County JA Business
Challenge and advanced to the Wisconsin JA Business Challenge
“JA gave me a start as a teenager and it has really aided in the
development of my character.” (JA – Sheboygan County)
Giving Back
Macy Monfils, one of 13 high school volunteers from the Wolf River
Area, benefited from Junior Achievement classroom programs from
elementary through middle school. Inspired by her JA volunteer
mentors, Macy started volunteering in 6th grade with JA events and
today teaches JA in the classroom.
As a volunteer, Macy has learned just how quickly kids can apply JA
principles. A young boy in her classroom proudly reported that he
started saving money he earned doing chores. “It gives you such great
satisfaction knowing you helped a young mind discover something
new, and these skills will stay with the students as they journey
through life.” (JA – Wolf River Area)
CHANGING THE WORLD
“JA really makes a difference. I already use what I have learned.” – Anusha Maheshwari
Fox Cities high school students Olivia Hansen, Mason Lawrenz, Paige Schumacker, Natalie Brandt, Ana Rank, Isabella
DeVine, Anusha Maheshwari and Sarah Stephan (not pictured) are exceptional young volunteers for the JA – Winnebago
Area. As members of the Winnebago Area JA Student Ambassadors Board, they volunteer in numerous elementary and
middle school classrooms, help at the JA Business Challenge and other events, and plan the JA Volunteer Appreciation
event each year.
Helping others is the JA Student Ambassador goal. Working together as a team, learning to navigate differences of
opinion, and holding each other accountable has shaped their college and career aspirations. They mutually agree that
JA is preparing their generation for the future. As Sarah explains, “JA makes students understand the world, so they can
determine how someday they will change it.” (JA – Winnebago Area)

Why JA Opportunities Are Necessary

70 total students. When six of these students stepped

– Sara Waldron JA Business Challenge, two teams went on to win the first-round competition
and make it to the Championship, both firsts for the school.
Sara says she watched the students have fun as their confidence grew throughout the JA
Business Challenge. “For some of these students, Junior Achievement has been one of the most
important experiences in their educational journey so far, and a great reminder why these opportunities
are necessary.” (JA – Northwest Wisconsin)
“It’s not just going to impact them for
the day...It’s going to impact them for GENERATIONS OF
the rest of their lives.” – Deb O’Leary
SERVICE
Deb O’Leary and her son, Kevin O’Leary, are
life-long advocates of Junior Achievement. Deb
first introduced JA Be Entrepreneurial® into her
middle school computer class in 2011 and now
supplements her high school business and
marketing classes with JA curriculum. Since
Junior Achievement was introduced, student
enrollment in the marketing classes has
definitely increased. Deb says, “JA introduces
students to careers they maybe wouldn’t have
been aware of before.”
Kevin benefited from JA in his high school.
He participated in the JA Business Challenge
for four consecutive years and won the
competition his freshman and senior years. His
JA experiences led him to a career in business.
Today, as a real estate broker, Kevin brings his
knowledge as a Junior Achievement volunteer
into the classroom, wanting to give back the
“real-world knowledge” he learned in JA.

Lasting Bonds
Junior Achievement creates lasting bonds between
teachers, students, and volunteers alike. Patty Eley,
a recently retired teacher from Middleton’s Northside
Elementary School, hosted JA volunteer Suzanne
Covoloskie, a process re-engineering manager, in her 2nd grade
classroom for several years.
When she announced her retirement, Patty said the other teachers were
clamoring for Suzanne as their JA classroom volunteer. “I confidently give
JA a gold star,” Patty says, “I can’t rave enough about Suzanne and the JA
program. My only wish was that it lasted the entire year!”
Suzanne, for her part, enjoys her company’s encouragement to volunteer during the work
day. “You’re helping students lay the foundations for who they’ll be,” Suzanne says about the
impact of JA’s programs. “Every single time I leave my class, I’m so excited and inspired when I go back
to work.” (JA – Dane County Area)

PURPOSE:
To inspire and prepare
young people to succeed
in a global economy.

The skills I learned in Junior Achievement

will help me to be more successful as
an adult. I now know the importance of
money in the real world and how
much it is needed in everyday life.

- High School Student
