Young Professionals Network

Young Professionals Network

The Junior Achievement Young Professionals (JAYP) are committed to advancing JA’s mission among Miami’s early- and mid-career professionals, their employers, and employees. The JAYP network, founded in 2014, represents the future of corporate leadership in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. We promote programming, events, and volunteer opportunities for their professional networks to get involved with and support JA’s community offerings.

Purpose and Values:
Junior Achievement of Greater Miami believes in positively impacting the lives of as many students as possible. We collaborate with our boards and supporters to offer free financial literacy education to local public schools, teaching children about money: how to earn it, save it, spend it, and share it.

JAYPN General Members:

To maintain your status as an active member, you must participate in two of the following per semester (Fall semester – August 1 – December 31, Spring semester – January 1 – June 30):

Attend a JAYPN general meeting
Attend a JAYPN social event
Volunteer to teach at least one Junior Achievement program
Participate in a JAYPN sub-committee
Participate in a JAYPN Peer to Peer fundraiser

Additionally, because Junior Achievement is supported through the generous gifts of our community, we require members to make a monetary donation to JA at a level that is meaningful to them, either personally or sponsored by your company.

YP Membership requires an annual registration fee of $25. The fee will be credited to your annual membership contribution, which helps support our mission of teaching students about money – how to earn it, save it, spend it, and share it.

Junior Achievement offers opportunities throughout the year for YP Members to contribute their time, talents, and financial support.

After one year of active network participation, members are eligible to apply for a leadership position within the JAYPN.

JAYPN COMMITTEES
Committees gather separately throughout the year, providing status updates and calls to action at the JAYPN general meetings.

Fundraising Committee: The committee collaborates with JA development staff to secure both in-kind donations and fundraising contributions from the community to better support the JA Miami mission and expand the number of students served. This committee will support existing fundraising initiatives and participate in fundraising activities for JA.
Volunteer Committee: This committee collaborates with JA education staff to promote volunteer involvement, attract new volunteers, and engage young professionals in volunteer initiatives.
Social and Engagement Committee: This committee generates awareness for JA, ideally increasing JA’s membership base, through social events and networking. This committee connects with the JA events staff.
Marketing & PR Committee: This committee is tasked with developing and managing JAYP’s public image and communication efforts. They oversee the creation of marketing materials and social media content, ensuring that messaging is consistent across all platforms. This committee collaborates with the mar-comm team.
