5. Did You Know? 4 With one of the highest dropout rates in the nation, Arizona’s kids are dropping out at a rate of 48 per day. Of every 10 students entering Arizona high schools, only 7 graduate. According to Money Management International, young people ages 21- 25 are one of the fastest growing groups filing for bankruptcy. Employers report that nearly 70% of high school graduates are deficient in critical thinking and problem solving. Economic education is only a half credit requirement upon graduation in Arizona, thus reducing the focus on the global economy and personal finance for students in our schools.

6. Why Volunteer? 5 Workforce Readiness | Entrepreneurship | Financial Literacy Volunteers play a key role in bringing Junior Achievement to life. By sharing my personal and professional experiences and skills with students from my community, I help them make the connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life. Students in Arizona should know about the business world around them and all the opportunities available to them. I am the key to that knowledge. I am also there to be a role model to the students by illustrating where secondary education can lead them. I can give students a chance to be heard, share their ideas and give them support and encouragement. Workforce Readiness | Entrepreneurship | Financial Literacy
