Salah Charitable Foundation Supports Innovative High School Program
Thanks to a generous gift from the Salah Charitable Foundation, Junior Achievement of South Florida can continue preparing youth to be the employees, consumers and business owners of the future through its innovative JA Experience at Lauderhill 6-12 program.
"We are excited to be part of the creation of a culture that fosters high expectations resulting in engaged and high performing high school students." - George Taylor Esq., with the firm Brinkley Morgan and a Board Member of the Salah Charitable Foundation.
JA Experience re-engineers high school education, moving away from learning in silos to instead infusing key concepts across all subjects. Students are encouraged to discover solutions to real-challenges, connect the relevancy of education and develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive in today's ever-evolving economy.
