OPPORTUNITIES
     2023

Dear JA Friends and Supporters,

Thank you for your interest in Junior Achievement’s signature work readiness program, JA Inspire.
The JA Inspire program is a coalition of educators and industry leaders, led by Junior Achievement
of Oklahoma, working to provide Oklahoma secondary students with meaningful experiences as
they begin to consider their future school and career planning. We believe the key to Oklahoma’s
future growth lies in preparing the next generation of employees, and invite you to join us in this
important mission.

As students start to explore high school and higher education options, the JA Inspire program will
help showcase the opportunities that are awaiting them. This program is designed to help
students create a pathway to success, because when our young people know where they are
going, we all advance.

Launched in 2019, JA Inspire has already reached more than 20,000 students. As we continually
strive to improve, we survey educators, exhibitors and students students to understand our
successes and areas of growth. One teacher commented, "Our students had a great time. I was
very impressed by the vendor participation and hope it will grow and continue to be successful!
The communication and organization of your staff was refreshing! Thanks so much!"

This year’s event will be the most important yet. With the significant changes taking place in the
workforce, it is important now more than ever to help students see their future. Our goal is to
serve 10,000 students this year in two on-site events (located in Tulsa and Oklahoma City), as well
as a virtual event open to all schools.

We hope that your company will be a part of this important experience for our young people. This
sponsorship packet will explain the program in more detail and outline opportunities and benefits
available to you and your company. Your participation will inspire and prepare students to view
their education, careers, and their finances with hope and a belief that they truly can succeed.

Sincerely,

Rick Bennett                                        Darcie Henderson
