Bank of New Hampshire Supports Junior Achievement of NNE

New Hampshire – August 27, 2012 – Bank of New Hampshire is proud to support Junior Achievement of Northern New England with a $2,500 contribution to support several New Hampshire educational programs. “Organizations such as Junior Achievement are vital to our youth and our economy” stated Louis Guevin, Jr., EVP – Commercial Services for Bank of New Hampshire. “We are happy to be able to support and promote financial education in our children’s curricula at no cost to the schools.”

Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating K-12 students about work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs. Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Through their participation in Junior Achievement, students can put these lessons learned into action and help strengthen their communities.

“Junior Achievement of Northern New England is truly grateful to Bank of New Hampshire for their incredible commitment to our organization,” said Emily Neill, President of Junior Achievement of Northern New England.  “This generous donation will allow us to continue to impact over 7,000 students in the New Hampshire region this fiscal year.”
