Please kindly take a moment to view our website, www.japartners.org. Click on EDUCATION. Almost everything you would ever want to know about Junior Achievement is right there.

Then take a look at the attached list of my current class openings for schools in Dayton and the Miami Valley area.  If you find a class that peaks your interest, please kindly fill out the attached Volunteer Conduct of Standards Form and return to me.

ProBono Opportunities:

The FPA of Southwestern Ohio offers it members many pre-organized charitable opportunities to serve the public. Here is a few that we have planned for the year that are easy to implement, but can give you great satisfaction and media/marketing benefits to your firm.

Throughout the year, we will pass onto our members announcements from local community service organizations and other professional societies that are offering community service opportunities of interest.  Contact admin@fpacinti.org

FPA of Southwestern Ohio promotes these opportunities for Members to provide community outreach.

The following Community Service Opportunities provide members the opportunity to share their talents and time with the greater Cincinnati and Dayton communities.  The FPA encourages members to seek out the facilitators for these activities for both yourself and your staff.  These are another way that our Chapter and its Members make a difference in the Miami Valley.

2012 Cincinnati Financial Education Day was a success

The FPA of  Greater Cincinnati is a proud co-sponsor of this free public financial education & literacy event with the Mayor’s office, PNC Bank, and other community partners.  This event is an example of  the dedication of our membership to the principles and benefits of financial planning services in Southwestern Ohio.
 
We had  30 volunteers help us complete  financial  counseling sessions  for most of the public attendees of the event at the Cincinnati downtown branch library on January 28, 2012 from 10am to 4pm.   Our volunteers gave encouraging free advice  to help the public  improve their  financial literacy and  financial outcomes.
 
Through such efforts, we help  to positively change lives and  have a positive impact on the city. Through ProBono efforts, we make a difference.  Thank  you to all the  volunteers, Appreciation letters from the Mayor coming soon.
