ROSELAND, N.J., March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Junior Achievement
USA® (JA) honored ADP®
with the U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award for providing at
least 5,000 volunteer hours to local Junior
Achievement offices during the 2017-2018 school year.
The U.S. President's Volunteer Service Award will be presented to
44 organizations at an awards ceremony and celebration event at the
New York Stock Exchange during the JA Volunteer Summit, supported
by American Express, on March 12,
2019 in New York, NY.
The event will be part of Junior Achievement's year-long
Centennial Celebration.
"We are extremely pleased to be presented with this prestigious
award for the third year in a row," said Rita Mitjans, chief diversity and corporate
social responsibility officer at ADP. "Giving back to the
local community is extremely important, especially when that
community is the workforce of the future. We are proud of our
involvement with helping to develop, train and grow the next
generation."
In 2003, President George W. Bush
established the President's Council on Service and Civic
Participation (the Council) to recognize the valuable contributions
volunteers make in communities and encourage more people to serve.
The Council created the President's Volunteer Service Award
program as a way to thank and honor individuals who, by their
demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in
volunteer service. In 2006, Junior Achievement became an
official certifying organization for this award, which recognizes
corporations with a U.S. presence that provide volunteers to teach
JA programs anywhere in the world.
"I'm thrilled to see that, once again, so many of our ADP
associates volunteered their hours to empower the next generation
of technologists through Junior Achievement," said Raj
Uttamchandani, vice president in Global Product & Technology at
ADP and Junior Achievement of New
Jersey board member. "Through ADP's sponsorship of two
Junior Achievement of New Jersey's
HackNJ events, a 24-hour student hackathon, these volunteers served
as mentors, led career discussions and workshops and judged the
final submissions of this rewarding event. In a constant
effort to drive the workplace of the future, ADP associates have
also supported fantastic initiatives such as JA BizTown®, JA
Finance Park® and the JA Career Success Workshops that teach
invaluable lessons in entrepreneurship, personal finance and career
exploration and prepare students for success after
graduation."
Junior Achievement's kindergarten through high school programs
are delivered across the country by a network of more than 245,000
volunteers. JA programs provide innovative, hands-on work
readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy education to
nearly 4.9 million students each year.
