Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada is mega sizing here in the valley.
The nonprofit has moved into a 40,000 square foot space. You could say it’s the Disneyland for lessons in financial literacy, from banking, work and career readiness.
Channel 13’s Tricia Kean got an exclusive tour of the new digs that’s an effort of every major for in our valley, from business, government, banking, gaming and education.
Finished exterior touches are being put on the Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada’s Inspiration Center.
What was once a vacant building just four years ago has transformed into a multi-million dollar financial learning mecca for southern Nevada students.
While still under construction, Kean got an exclusive personal tour of the massive inspiration center.
“Those are acoustacal clouds, but they are also clouds that people have sponsored,” said CEO Michelle Jackson.
Jackson calls the new center a game changer in financial literacy skills for southern Nevada students.
“Every young person is going to be more successful if they know who they want to be when they grow up from the standpoint of a career. And then when you get that first paycheck, knowing how to manage your money, whether it’s a budget, how to invest money, everyone needs these skills,” she said.
