For Julie Milam, serving on the Junior Achievement of North Louisiana Board is about investing in the future of the entire region.

Julie, our Board Chair-Elect, has served on the JA board for eight years. She is a Senior Financial Analyst with the Entrepreneurial Accelerator Program (EAP), a division of BRF, and brings more than 30 years of experience in finance to her role.

"I deeply care about our region's success, and that is heavily dependent on the economic development that is happening today. JA is literally helping to train the next generation of entrepreneurs. Their success is our region's success."

We're so thankful for Julie's service to JA and look forward to her continued leadership as Chair-Elect!

We had such a great evening at our Meet the President Laureate Social Hour tonight!

We loved having so many friends and supporters of JA there to meet our new President & Executive Director, Alex Person, and our JA Laureates.

Thank you to everyone who joined us! We’re excited for a great year ahead!

We’re thrilled to share that Junior Achievement of North Louisiana has been awarded a grant from the Amazon Northwest Louisiana Community Fund!

This funding will directly support our JA BOLD Girls Leadership Summit, where young women from across four parishes come together to build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and learn from inspiring female mentors who have found success in their careers.

We’re honored to be selected alongside 46 other incredible nonprofit organizations working to make a difference in our region. Together, we’re building a stronger, more empowered community for all.

Thank you and for investing in our community!

A summer job is more than a paycheck, it’s often a young person’s first step toward independence, confidence, and career readiness.

Through hands-on experiences, students learn how to communicate, problem-solve, manage responsibility, and navigate the workplace, skills that last far beyond the summer season.

At Junior Achievement, we’re helping prepare students for those opportunities and the future ahead.
