Bank donates $10,000 to Junior Achievement programs statewide

A $10,000 donation from First National Bank Alaska will help Junior Achievement (JA) of Alaska in its mission to “foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, and use experiential learning to inspire Alaska students to dream big and reach their potential.”

The donation will sponsor a wide variety of JA programs ranging from JA BizTown and JA in a Day for elementary students to JA Career Success for high schoolers. The money will also be used to sponsor JA events such as the annual golf tournament and Bowl-A-Thon fundraisers and the Hall of Fame dinner, honoring Alaska business leaders.

First National has supported JA for more than two decades in its mission to be a bridge between the education system and business, teaching young people in grades K-12 the workings of the free enterprise system. The programs are funded by individuals and businesses like First National, and presented in classrooms across Alaska by volunteers. 

Alaskan-owned and operated since 1922, First National proudly meets the financial needs of Alaskans with ATMs and 30 branches in 18 communities throughout the state.
