Thank YOU ALL for your awesome skills, work and dedication to the community! Our place looks much better because of YOU. I can’t wait to see the kids’ faces when they see the new logo by the gym, the words in the cafeteria, the cleared sand, cleaned desks and the painted wall.

Through this partnership, we’ve helped entrepreneurs in eight cities across the US. This Academy provided a valuable learning experience for green entrepreneurs. We helped them develop the skills and contacts to advance their businesses and shared the resources available to help them with funding.

Community Engagement

Over the past few years, our school district has had very little funding to upgrade technology in our classrooms. Many of our computer workstations are currently more than eight years old. We look forward to seeing the results this generous donation from University of Phoenix will provide for our students and staff.

Jim Wasielewski
Technology Coordinator, Vacaville Unified School District, speaking about University of Phoenix’s donation of 200 computer workstations
Community Engagement

We are honored for our associates, teachers and volunteers to receive these scholarships due, in part, to their affiliation with Junior Achievement USA. The many University of Phoenix program offerings will allow them to continue their education in a direction that is personally enriching and organizationally valuable.

President and Chief Executive Officer, Junior Achievement USA
