“How you can affect the student drop out rate: Volunteer for Junior Achievement”

• Every 26 seconds another student drops out of school in America - over 1.3 million students per year.

• Of those who do graduate high school, only 1/3 have the skills they need to succeed in college and in the 21st century workforce.

• Just 12% of US high schools generate half of the nation’s dropouts.

• There will be an estimated $3 trillion cost to our economy based on the more than 12 million students projected to drop out over next decade.

Help us change these statistics by volunteering to teach Junior Achievement in a local classroom today! Please contact Laura Clingman at lclingman@jafortworth.org for more information regarding classroom availability.
