Junior Achievement

The Education Committee launched the first-ever Junior Achievement (JA) program in several Lake Pend Oreille School District schools in the fall of 2007.  Due to success, they are now seeking volunteers and their companies to sponsor spring classes and beyond.  All money will go directly to Junior Achievement and will benefit youth of the Greater Sandpoint community.
