"We are excited to deliver important lessons to girls and young women to help them prepare for their professional futures in a fun, hands-on and engaging way again this year,” said Teresa Smith, vice president of programs for JA of North Florida. “Our team led by our JA Girl$ Program Director Carly Norton has put together a great program with female entrepreneurs and coaches that will provide valuable information as we celebrate the potential of girls.”
Locally, Pace Center for Girls and Seamark Ranch participate in the Junior Achievement program.
