BUILDING ONA STRONGFOUNDATIONBy every measure, 2015-16 was a record year. We served the Ray Sprague Jeremy Racemost students in the history of our organization, nearly 40,000,thanks to the efforts of JA’s incredible staff, board, donors, class- Chair Presidentroom volunteers and teachers.Not only did our student reach expand exponentially, but so did theamount of time (instructional contact hours) we spent with JA students.As compared to 108 other JA offices throughout the U.S., JA of SouthwestNew England continues to tout strong results.Our impact in this community has never been stronger, but the numbers only tell part ofour story. Most importantly we are changing the lives of young people in this region, empowering them toown their economic success through experiential programs that teach them to better understand the intri-cacies of financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Don’t just take my word for it. Accordingto a recent JA alumnus, “Junior Achievement became my foundation. I wouldn’t be where I am today withoutJunior Achievement… I will be successful and anyone who believes in the power of Junior Achievementknows that they can help other students like me find their path.”It’s powerful testimonials like this that should remind each of us, JA staff and supporters, why we do whatwe do – student impact.Thank you to all of our community partners. We are building on a strong foundation that is only made pos-sibly thanks to the generosity of JA’s donors and volunteers. Our goal is to annually serve 50,000 studentsby 2020. And with your commitment to Junior Achievement, we are confident this goal is achievable.Highlights • awarded the prestigious 5-Star Award from JA USA – presented to JA offices that demonstrate program growth,• s erved 39,915 students in grades K-12 through our core in- financial stability and strong management. school, afterschool and out-of-school intensive program- ming (this included more than 6,000 students in Hartford; • 1 5.18% student growth (year over year), compared to 3,000 in New Britain, 3,000 in New Haven; and 3,000 in national average of 2.96% Waterbury) • 1 6th fastest growing area in the U.S. (up from 37th in FY15)• d elivered specialty programs to nearly 1,000 students • 15.69% growth in instructional contact hours, compared to• s uccessfully launched 11 student-run businesses through national average of 6.50% the JA Company program • 9.42% of student market served (up from7.95% in FY15),• s tudent company from JA Entrepreneurial Academy at compared to national average of 9.01% Stanley Black & Decker qualified and competed in JA USA National Leadership Summit in Washington D.C.• h osted 20 high school students from Shanghai, China through our one-of-a-kind JA Global Connection program

ENTREPRENURIAL ACADEMY The JA Entrepreneurial Academy was piloted in 2012 and brings urban and suburban high school students together at a cor- porate site to gain skills in entrepreneurism, leadership, teamwork, ethics and career development. The focus of the 15-week, 30-hour program is the development and launching of an actual business, using the JA Company Program curriculum. The program has run successfully for the past four years, expanding into a second site in New Britain at the Stanley Black & Decker headquarters in _(year). This year there were a total of 19 students from 8 different high schools participating in the JA Entrepreneurial Acad- emy. They hailed from New Britain, Plainville, Avon, South- ington, Newington, Berlin, Farmington and CREC Academy Aerospace and Engineering in Windsor. Stanley Black & Decker’s JA Entrepreneurial Academy students’ company was called “BraceLIT”, which are wearable phone charging cords that double as a bracelet.20 “The level of interest, collaboration, and16 dedication to the success of the company program by the students and Stanley ANNUAL volunteers was extraordinary” REPORT Lorraine Wicklund Business Teacher, Berlin High School BraceLIT was 1 of 15 JA student companies nationwide selected for a national competition in Washington DC for Junior Achieve- ment’s National Student Leadership Summit. BraceLIT’s lead- ership team was John Zapata (CEO) from Southington, Meghan

Rigney(COO) from Farmington, Nikhil Bhat(VP of Finance) from CREC Academy Aero- space and Engineering, Gabriella Colletti (VP of Supply Chain) from Avon, and Angelique Perrone (VP of Marketing) from Berlin. Five students from the group attended the JuniorAchievement National Student Leadership Summit in Washington DC. BraceLIT gave a200% return to their investors, and a portion of their proceeds was given to the AmericanCancer Society, which was matched by Stanley Black & Decker.“The JA Entrepreneurial Academy” experience was an amazing and unique opportunity for 19 students from 8 different high schools, with diverse socioeconomic status; and partnered with experienced volunteers from Stanley Black and Decker. The involvement of leadership from Stanley including speakers, Don Allan and Jim Loree and touring the Stanley Plant were above and beyond what the typical student would ever receive in a regular classroom. The level of interest, collaboration, and dedication to the success of the company program by the students and Stanley volunteers was extraordinary”, said Lorraine Wicklund, a business teacher at Berlin High school served as an on-site teach- er for her third years and led the academy students to the national competition in Washington D.C for two years in a row.

JA GLOBAL CONNECTIONFourteen students from Lyman Hall and Mark T. Sheehan High School in Wallingford andone student from Cheshire High School went to China to participate in the landmark JuniorAchievement international exchange program, JA Global Connection, sponsored by Unit-ed Technologies Corporation. Through this program, the students learn first-hand about American and Chinese business, entrepreneurship, global trade, leader- ship and culture. This year’s JA Global Connection began in the summer of 2015 when a group of 20 students from China spent a week in Connecticut working alongside student peers from Wallingford and Cheshire. Throughout the school year, the students formed companies and have been importing and exporting prod- ucts. During this trip, students reconnected with their JA Global Connection business partners and completed their projects. The students also visited the U.S Embassy/Bei- jing American Center, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, The Great Wall, Fudan University in Shanghai and the Terra-cot- ta Warriors Museum in Xi’an. “The experience at Shanghai and being at Fudan University with the Chinese students was the best. We got to hear from a number of successful people in China, and they shared some of their stories and advice theyhad for us, which we really enjoyed. Another best partwas that we got a chance to connect in a way with theChinese students that I didn’t expect to”.Kairav Maniar12th grade student from Mark T. Sheehan High School, Wallingford
