We are grateful to our friends at Encore Capital Group [pictured below with our JA colleagues in San Diego] for a generous investment of nearly $15,000 in Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan. These crucial funds support our work teaching financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship to thousands of students and young adults in our community. When Encore Capital Group/MCM announced a national partnership with Junior Achievement, employees took part in a giving campaign raising funds that were distributed to JA locations where a majority of their team members work and live. We are pleased to be a recipient of a portion of those funds, in addition to $10,000 previously provided to support our work. Partnerships like these enable us to inspire and prepare young people for future success. Thank you from all of us at Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan. #financialliteracy #partnerships #WeareEncore
