Papa John's and Junior Achievement Join Forces to Deliver "Business of Life" Lessons to Nation's Students
Papa John's International and JA Worldwide have formed a national partnership that will help local JA Offices deliver work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy to U.S. students. Papa John's will donate $2 to JA for each customer who places their pizza order online and uses the online coupon displaying the Junior Achievement logo!
Currently, 33% of Papa John's corporate and franchise restaurants are participating in this online offer, resulting in nearly $450,000 contributed to JA so far.
In addition, participating Papa John's franchise and corporate-owned restaurants will conduct "job shadow" events at which JA students can experience first-hand what it is like to own and run a Papa John's restaurant and Papa John's employees will be encouraged to volunteer to teach JA classes at schools in their communities. JA Offices can also expand the partnership to include recruiting Papa John's franchisees and local market team leadership to serve on their board of directors.
JA Worldwide is the world's largest organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Through a dedicated volunteer network, JA Worldwide provides in-school and after-school programs for students K-12. Today, 140 individual area operations reach more than 4 million students in the United States, with an additional 4.3 million students served by operations in 114 other countries worldwide.
