JA of North Louisiana Spotlight
JA NLA Alumni Share Their Story!
Our JA office appreciates hearing from past students. “I never got to properly thank you all for inviting me to participate last year because it has truly changed my life. My group and I still talk about our idea and may be planning to do a website instead of an app so we will see how that goes. Thank you so much for the knowledge that I now have as a result of Junior Achievement!” ~Talik Johnson-Captain Shreve High School.
