Junior Achievement of Washington has been named Bonneville Seattle’s Charity of the Month for August, for providing a series of business, economics and life-skills programs to enhance the education of young people.

Junior Achievement of Washington will reach more than 100,000 kindergarten through 12th grade students, and more than 2,465 teachers in 63 area school districts and private schools this year. The organization’s 5,000 volunteer consultants come from all walks of life and include business people, college students, parents and retirees.

Helping the young people in the Greater Seattle area and Central Washington to reach their boundless potential is an effort assisted through the support and financial generosity of many.
