Junior Achievement: BizTown

This fall, many members of the Humphrey Management Corporate & Regional teams had the opportunity to participate in a volunteer opportunity at JA BizTown at the Junior Achievement offices in Owings Mills, MD. 

The training initiatives that are provided by Junior Achievement has made an impact to almost 47,500 students (and counting).  Students across Central Maryland have an opportunity to train through real life scenarios. These training/ scenarios show the realities of how careers, money, and business ownership work.  At Humphrey, we take pride in paying it forward by being a participating partner since February 2016.   We are excited about our partnership and look forward to engaging a new group of students each year.

Former Regional Manager of Baltimore & Outlying Counties, Lene McCollum, shared her appreciative thoughts with our Director of Education & Training, Regina Haynes, “Our Board of Directors and JA of Central Maryland staff wants to commend you for your commitment and service to Junior Achievement and the students of our region. You truly have been an example of inspiration to the young women. You shared important skills, knowledge and feedback that will enable them to be more successful in school, work, and life!”
