Bear Valley Electric Service, Inc. continued its partnership with the Junior Achievement of Southern California by providing a $3,000 sponsorship and participating in this year's JA Day on May 1, 2018.

Seven BVES volunteers taught the "Our Nation" program to approximately 53 fifth graders at Baldwin Lake Elementary. The program aims to help students better understand the free market system, the necessary jobs skills of today's business environment and how the innovation of entreprenuers contributes to a thriving economy.

Junior Achievement aims to help students develop entrepreneurial skills useful for their future while also teaching them the importance of financial awareness and academic success. BVES is grateful for the opportunity to help our local youth develop real world skills that will make them successful in all aspects of their life.
