Junior Achievement of Delaware Valley
|
|
Junior Achievement is passionate people inspiring kids to learn the economics of life through free enterprise education. These caring adults include teachers, who open their doors to this unique dimension of learning; volunteers, who are the heart of JA's learn-by-doing approach; and investors, whose generous resources turn classrooms into learning laboratories of the future. These people dedicate their precious time, energy and resources to change the lives of young people. They desperately want kids to be successful.

Ronald McDonald House
|
|
|
The idea behind Ronald McDonald House is simple: provide a “home-away-from-home” for families of seriously ill children who are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.
|
|
|
Some children need to travel great distances to get the medical attention they need. In-hospital treatment may last one day, one year, or even longer. For the families of these children, accommodations can be hard to come by; options are often limited to costly hotels or unforgiving hospital chairs and benches.
|
|
|
The Ronald McDonald House provides a comfortable, supportive alternative for these families. It serves as a temporary residence near the medical facility where family members can sleep, eat, relax, and find support from other families in similar situations.
|
|
|
Sharon Imperiale, President and Partner, rallies Career Concepts’ employees and their families to volunteer at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House. We provide, prepare, and serve dinners for the parents and children staying at the house. It is a great opportunity to support a great cause.

The Valley Forge Freedoms Foundation
|
|
|
Freedoms Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching young people the principles upon which our nation was founded. Freedoms Foundation’s mission is to convey the close link between the rights and the responsibilities of citizens in society.
|
|
|
Through education programs, collectively titled America's School for Citizenship Education, Americans are taught about America. Each year, some 3,000 students from all 50 states take part in Freedoms Foundation educational programs that include U.S. history, constitutional rights and citizens' responsibilities, core values, and the private enterprise system.
