Junior Achievement of Acadiana’s Leading Ladies program will mentor teens on professionalism
10 Nov 2021
Junior Achievement of Acadiana gathered women who are ready to mentor hundreds of teens for their Leading Ladies program in January.
“I am a supporter of junior achievement both financially and more so from the heart because it’s just about helping mentor girls particularly high school seniors into whatever profession they want to do,” said Donna Landry, a volunteer with Junior Achievement of Acadiana.
Women working in various industries across Acadiana are getting ready for January 13th. That’s when about 300 girls will participate in the Leading Ladies Project. Some topics that will be covered during the conference include financial illiteracy, entrepreneurship, and how to build confidence in the workplace.
