JA Central Iowa and JA Southeastern Pennsylvania are thankful and thrilled to announce the newest corporate partnership!

With locations in both Des Moines, Iowa, and Southeastern Pennsylvania, Venerable, who’s mission/vision aligns with Junior Achievements pillars, reached out to see if a collaboration was possible. Not only from providing resources but volunteers.

After presenting a joint proposal, we are thrilled to share that Venerable has graciously donated $35,000! This will be split between the two JA areas. Volunteers will look to assist with JA Central Iowa’s Finance Park and JA Southeastern Pennsylvania’s Classroom Programs.

Venerable is a business with well-established, strategic investors, experienced in successfully building and growing insurance businesses with patient, long-term capital. With that mindset we know Venerable volunteers will have an immense impact on so many students’ futures!

“Venerable is thrilled to partner with Junior Achievement in Central Iowa and Southeastern Pennsylvania, connecting educational needs with colleagues in our business community. Our employees have a passion for community service and mentorship, and we are excited to help progress JA’s goal of educating and empowering young people to own their economic success.”

Lindsey Bollinger, EVP, Chief Implementation Officer and EDI Committee Head

“We are excited and grateful for Venerable’s investment in Central Iowa and Southeastern Pennsylvania’s youth. With their support, more young people will have the skillset and mindset to create a bright future.”

Ryan Osborn, President, JA Central Iowa

“Thank you, Venerable, for your support! We look forward to partnering with you to inspire and empower young people with the tools they need to be successful in life. We are excited that this partnership extends to the JA of Central Iowa as well; impacting not one but two communities!”
