JA Fellows 2017-2018 Post Survey

Junior Achievement of South Florida's mission is to inspire and prepare youth throughout Broward and south Palm Beach counties to succeed in a global economy.

Thank you for taking the time to take this short survey. The costs of providing the JA Fellows program are generously supported by a variety of corporations, foundations and individuals. Through our pre- and post-surveys, we want to learn how we can improve JA Fellows; if JA Fellows has made a difference for you; and whether JA Fellows was worth your investment of time and energy.
