BOWLING GREEN — UPS awarded a grant in the amount of $7,300 to Junior Achievement (JA) of South Central Kentucky. The funds will help provide funding for educational programming for local K-12 students on financial literacy, work-readiness and entrepreneurship.
Junior Achievement of South Central Kentucky provides in-classroom and virtual learning opportunities for students at no costs to schools. Funds from the International Paper grant will help pay for support materials, training, volunteer recruiting and evaluation of students as they work to make learning in the classroom a high-impact effort. The International Paper Foundation focuses on providing assistance to address four vital community needs: education, hunger, health & wellness and disaster relief.
“We are thrilled to partner with UPS,” said Allie Sharp, President of Junior Achievement of South Central Kentucky. “This grant enables JA students to continue to grow their financial literacy skills as they prepare for bright futures.”
