We feel lucky to be a part of something so special- watching students leave E2 with their heads held high. We feel grateful to be in the company of our incredibly altruistic volunteers serving as mentors, coaches, and judges. We feel honored to be in the presence of such dedicated educators. We feel proud to have the continued support of the business community that helps to make events like E2 possible.
It is this collaboration of students, volunteers, educators, and the business community that makes JA so impactful, radiating opportunity throughout communities and ultimately the world. High school can be hard. It can really highlight disparities in access to the tools to support success after high school but here at E2 and at other JA experiences in and out of the classroom, young people gather the confidence and courage to believe that opportunity can be for everyone, even them.
Thank you to our esteemed judges!
It was a great event! My students got so much out of it. I saw real time transformation - especially with my freshman, going from being very insecure/nervous to confident and soaring! The coaching was incredibly helpful and supportive!! ~ Tracy Stephens, Educator at Austin High School
“My students really enjoyed the event and are very proud of themselves for getting up on stage.“ ~ Stephanie Matula, Educator at Weiss High School
