April is Financial Literacy Month and last month Junior Achievement of Western Connecticut teamed up with local organizations to help students learn about careers, budgeting, taxes, smart credit use and insurance. 

Teachers, administrators, college students and business professionals volunteered their time to teach important financial literacy concepts to students that will help them make informed decisions as future members of the workforce

On April 5, JAWCT brought Financial Literacy Night to Ansonia Middle School students and families thanks to the Ansonia Boys and Girls Charger Club and the Avangrid Foundation, the charitable arm of AVANGRID, Inc., parent company of United Illuminating, Southern Connecticut Gas and Connecticut Natural Gas. 

Webster Bank employees facilitated lessons on budgeting, career and college readiness, and personal branding. Volunteers from many local companies, including Bank of NY Mellon, Better Packages, Bigelow Tea, JP Morgan Chase, Odyssey Logistics & Technology, People's United Bank, Webster Bank, and Wells Fargo discussed career and education decisions with students and how those decisions will impact their future. 

Students walked away with a better understanding of personal finance and the ability to share this information with their families.

Junior Achievement of Western Connecticut was founded in 1947, and reaches over 22,500 on an annual basis throughout the Greater Danbury, Bridgeport, and Valley areas.
