We Have A New JA CEO!

Junior Achievement of the Central Carolinas has named Celia Klein president and chief executive, effective Aug. 15.

Klein joins Junior Achievement from the American Red Cross in Charlotte, where she oversaw development and fundraising in a seven-county area.

She will oversee all aspects of Junior Achievement in Charlotte. Junior Achievement provides business programming to students in grades K-12.

Klein also will lead efforts to maximize student outreach to 55 counties in the Carolinas.

Welcome to the Newest Junior Achievement Region!

We're excited to report that we have created a new Catawba Region of Junior Achievement, combining the programs of Chester, Lancaster, and York Counties under one umbrella, with Ann Elliott being our full-time Executive Director!

This merging of programs will extend our outreach capabilities, enabling us to teach more classes and increase our fund-raising capabilities. It will bring new ideas, new expertise, and lend more hands to do the work.

Please watch this site in the coming weeks to see how we grow as we plan for the coming year!

The new combined Board hard at work planning for the new school year and the fund-raising challenges ahead to meet their goals.
