The Primerica Foundation Grants $10,000 to Junior Achievement

LAS VEGAS – Acknowledging the significant contributions in providing financial literacy education to local K-12 students, The Primerica Foundation has chosen to grant $10,000 to Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. The grant was presented to the nonprofit organization during the recent Women in Primerica Leadership conference at the Mirage Hotel & Casino.

Junior Achievement (JA) serves a crucial role for youth to learn about finances, workforce development and entrepreneurship by delivering age-appropriate curriculum to the Clark County School District and other educational institutions that don’t have the resources to provide these valuable lessons. JA’s programming focuses on educating younger students about their roles as individuals, employees, and consumers in daily life and commerce, while emphasizing the value of saving and distinguishing between needs and wants. Middle and high school students gain insights into essential economic principles, workforce dynamics, personal budgeting, and credit management.

“We deeply appreciate The Primerica Foundation’s acknowledgment and continued support of the impactful and needed work we undertake within our community,” said Michelle Jackson, president and CEO of Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada. “This grant, like its prior grant in 2018, will play a pivotal role for us in providing necessary resources to prepare local students for their future success.”

“Helping families become financially secure is a priority at Primerica, and partners like Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada help us extend our reach by providing financial education to vulnerable and underserved communities,” said Kathryn Kieser, chair of The Primerica Foundation. “Through our partnership, we’re able to help students gain valuable knowledge and life skills to help them better navigate their financial future.”

The Primerica Foundation is the charitable arm of Primerica, Inc., a leading provider of financial services to middle-income families in the United States and Canada. Since 2014, Primerica and The Primerica Foundation have given over $1 million to support Junior Achievement, which includes a $10,000 grant to Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada in 2018 and this year’s $10,000 award. Headquartered in Duluth, Ga., Primerica is a long-time supporter of Junior Achievement of Georgia through JA Finance Park and was a founding partner of 3DE by Junior Achievement, an immersive educational experience for Georgia high school students.
