Words from Community Leaders

"Chesapeake Energy is honored to partner with Junior Achievement of Oklahoma, and we commend their dedication to fostering financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship among young Oklahomans. By opening the doors of this facility, we are creating a space where students can learn, grow, and explore their potential. We believe that investing in the education and development of our youth is paramount to building a prosperous and thriving community in Oklahoma City.

Usha Turner, Chief Sustainability Officer
Chesapeake Energy
“We know the importance of empowering young people in our communities to pursue their dreams, no matter how big. We also know that in order to take these steps, they must be given the opportunities to engage in activities to expand their financial education knowledge and fuel their curiosity. This is why BOK’s investment in the JA Experiential Learning Lab here in OKC was so important to us as it will provide a place for our employees to help prepare our youth for a better future."

"With the opening of this new facility, Junior Achievement of Oklahoma will be able to reach more Oklahoma students than ever imagined. This organization prides itself on putting the success of students first, providing them with the education necessary to be able to lead their own futures. The construction of a new building in Oklahoma City will cement Junior Achievement’s presence in the area and provide new opportunities that are not currently available to local students."
