Funding Opportunities

JA believes that one of the key issues for many employers in the area is the work-readiness of our young workforce.  Through your support, thousands of students in the Rock River Valley area will be able to learn the modern economic system, the opportunities within and what it takes to achieve your career dreams.

 

Below are options for your charitable dollar.  Check the opportunities that you would like to support.  We’ve done our best to assure that your company gets as much out of your sponsorship as do the children of the Rock River Valley.

Rockford in 20 Competition/Back To School Breakfast (Location & Date TBD)

JA’s Rockford in 20 Competition is a great way to encourage our area youth to get their hands dirty in the problems and solutions of Rockford.  By answering the question “Where do you see Rockford in 20 years and how can we get there?”, students get the opportunity to get their ideas heard by today’s leaders.  The awards for this contest will be announced at the Back to School Breakfast where JA will celebrate the past year’s successes and the upcoming year’s hopes with many of Rockford’s leading companies.    We’d love to have you as part of it.  As with all of our opportunities, we make sure you get as much out of your sponsorship as do the children of the Rock River Valley.  Below is information on opportunities available.
