Junior Achievement – an Andersen tradition

Andersen Corporation has a long history of supporting Junior Achievement (JA). Since 1969, Andersen employees have volunteered their time and shared their knowledge educating students in our communities around real life business operations. Along with affordable housing, youth education is among our top focus areas.

This year approximately 75 Andersen volunteers worked with kindergarteners through 6^th graders in three elementary schools near the company’s Bayport, MN facility. Across the Andersen enterprise employees like Mark Neal of Houston, TX, volunteer in their own community.

Curriculum ranges from Global Economy and World Trade to basic STEM skills – science, technology, engineering and math. These programs engage and inform students and volunteers alike.

Community engagement as well as mentoring, guiding and educating kids often pays greater dividends to those making the effort than it does to those receiving it. Andersen Corporation is fortunate to have employees ready and eager to volunteer.
