State Farm® Receives Volunteer Award from Junior Achievement

(LAS VEGAS) – Commitment to educating the community about financial literacy earns State Farm® its 15th bronze level U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award. The award was the result of State Farm associates’ volunteer efforts across the country with Junior Achievement USA® (JA). In 2022, State Farm provided over $700,000 in charitable grants to JA in support of work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy education programs in 43 regions.

In Nevada, State Farm supports Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada through funding for JA Inspiration Center programming. Local volunteers engage with middle and high school students through hands on programs related to financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career exploration.

“State Farm is thrilled to receive this award for the 15th time since its inception,” said Alyson Griffin, State Farm marketing vice president, and JA USA board member. “Our company is committed to educating young adults on the fundamentals of personal finance to help set them up for a lifetime of good financial habits.”

“Junior Achievement envisions a world where young people have the skills and mindset to build thriving communities, and volunteers play a critical role in making that vision a reality,” said Michelle Jackson, Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada president and CEO. "JA could not exist without the dedication of its volunteers. We are grateful for this opportunity to recognize the invaluable support from State Farm."

The U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award was presented to 65 organizations at the recent JA Volunteer Summit in Washington, DC. The award was created in 2003 to thank and honor individuals who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service. In 2006, JA became an official certifying organization for this award, which recognizes corporations with a U.S. presence that provide volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere in the world.
