Junior Achievement prepares young people for the real world by teaching financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and workforce readiness. Their programs reach students from elementary through high school, making sure kids understand how credit works, how to manage money, and what it takes to build something of their own. We've been active supporters of JA for years through board service and volunteering.

Educational Pathways Academy is a private school in Southwest Florida dedicated to educating students in grades 1–12 with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities. Their teachers use research-based methods and personalized instruction to help students strengthen their academic abilities while growing socially and emotionally. Our daughter attended EPA for four years after we moved to Florida. In Minnesota she struggled with reading, school, and self-confidence. After four years at EPA she was confident, thriving, and her academics improved dramatically. A complete 180, and we owe so much of that to EPA's amazing teaching style and kindness.

We believe every dyslexic kid deserves to be taught in a way that works with how their brain thinks, not by putting every student in the same box. We've seen what happens when kids don't get the help they need. They get down on themselves and start to believe they're not as smart as the other kids, a hit to self-image that can last years. We've also seen what early detection and the right support can do. When dyslexic thinkers learn in a way that fits how their brain works, they go on to be the brilliant people they already are. Over 50% of NASA employees have dyslexia. 35% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic. Richard Branson, Steven Spielberg, and Albert Einstein are all dyslexic thinkers. But here's the other side: 47% of inmates have dyslexia too. The difference is whether someone got the right help early enough. We advocate for earlier identification, better resources for families, and schools that teach kids the way they actually learn.
