Junior Achievement

ITW participates in Junior Achievement programs that use hands-on experiences to help young people from kindergarten through high school understand the economics of life. We provide volunteers who donate time each semester to schools where our business units are located. In 2006, more than 300 men and women volunteered their time to teach programs in nine states. Participation in the Chicago Bowl-A-Thon, where we have raised more than $2.2 million to fund Junior Achievement programs over the past 15 years, is a highlight for employees.
