VOLUNTEER DATE HAS CHANGED FROM OCTOBER 18 TO NOVEMBER 3.

WHAT ARE GYP IMPACT EVENTS?

We partner with various local non-profits to provide avenues for young adults to utilize their sphere of influence to positively impact others. Through these partnerships, we are able to offer young professionals in Gwinnett a myriad of different volunteer and community service opportunities. For this GYP Impact event, we are partnering with Junior Achievement of Georgia and we will be volunteering on November 3rd at their Discovery Center in Gwinnett.

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT DISCOVERY CENTER AT GWINNETT

Every year more than 25,000 middle school students from Gwinnett County Public Schools have the opportunity to take part in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park. Located on the campus of Discovery High School in Lawrenceville, the high-impact education center allows middle school students to experience learning like never before. Following a series of in-class lessons, the JA Discovery Center brings education to life and provides students with an immersive learning experience that gives them a glimpse of what their futures can entail.

Every child has a dream, a vision for what their future can be. Our mission is to provide students with opportunities to make those dreams a reality. At JA Finance Park students have the rare opportunity to experience their personal financial futures first-hand. Students will have the opportunity to balance a budget and decide between their needs and wants, all within their unique life profile for the day: a career, income, education level and family scenario.
