Parents
Is JA offered at your child's school?
Research says that the greatest predictor of student achievement is not economic or social status, but rather the extent to which parents become involved in their children's education.
Kids believe they can be whatever they want when they grow up. And they're right. But getting there isn't always easy.
No matter what your profession, your life experience and determination to succeed means you can serve as a role model - not just to your child - but to their peers too.
Here is how you can get involved:
