This grant is specific to JA in a Day that took place in the spring at Mintonye Elementary School. We reached 22 classrooms in grades K-5th and served over 442 students! Learning a variety of concepts, however, each grade focused on our 3 pillars: financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship.

“Horizon Bank is proud to provide this $5,000 Horizon Cares grant to Junior Achievement of Greater Lafayette to continue their mission of showing young people what is possible through financial literacy and entrepreneurship. This grant, in addition to additional monetary and volunteer support of Junior Achievement of Greater Lafayette will make a lasting impact on our youth and ultimately our communities for years to come, “ Brian Balmer, VP District Manager.
