ROSELAND, N.J., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Junior Achievement
USA® (JA) honored
ADP® with a 2019-2020 U.S. President's Volunteer Service
Award in appreciation of their valued support despite the
limitations on volunteerism due to the pandemic. During a virtual
awards ceremony today, the U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award
was presented to 50 organizations that demonstrated a strong
commitment to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a
global economy.
"We are extremely honored to again receive this prestigious
recognition from Junior Achievement," said Bob Lockett, chief diversity and talent officer
for ADP. "We share a common mission to inspire today's
students to become tomorrow's leaders, and we're proud to work in
tandem with such a valued community organization toward a future
where everyone can reach their highest potential."
In 2003, President George W. Bush
established the President's Council on Service and Civic
Participation (the Council) to recognize the valuable contributions
volunteers make in communities and encourage more people to serve.
The Council created the President's Volunteer Service Award program
as a way to thank and honor individuals who, by their demonstrated
commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer
service. In 2006, Junior Achievement became an official certifying
organization for this award, which recognizes corporations with a
U.S. presence that provide volunteers to teach JA programs anywhere
in the world.
"The work Junior Achievement is doing in communities across the
world is truly extraordinary," added Lockett. "Though the
face of volunteering might have changed this year, we're proud that
our associates continued to support and empower the future
workforce. From the COVID-19 Digital Learning Campaign to the
Women's Future Leadership Forum, to STEM initiatives including
Junior Achievement's NextGen Tech Series Hackathon, our associates
have served as mentors, led discussions and workshops, and helped
run inspiring events. ADP associates have also supported
initiatives including JA BizTown®, JA Finance Park® and the JA
Career Pathways Center, which inspire and prepare young people to
succeed through financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and
career-readiness programs."
Junior Achievement's kindergarten through high school programs
are delivered across the country by a network of nearly 152,000
volunteers. Today, JA programs provide innovative, hands-on work
readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy education to
more than 3 million students in the U.S. each year.
