Junior Achievement of the Mad River Region serves students in Clark, Madison, Champaign and Logan counties. They offer classes from kindergarten through 12th-grade in the areas of financial literacy, work and career readiness, soft skills and entrepreneurship. All of their programming meets state standards and is always free to educators, schools, after-school programs and more. (Benjamin Logan PHOTO)
