Boehringer Ingelheim and Junior Achievement: A decade of inspiring futures

On June 5, Boehringer Ingelheim marked a significant milestone with its 10th annual Junior Achievement (JA) Day at Westside STEM Academy. This year, 62 dedicated Boehringer volunteers took over teaching responsibilities for the entire school, delivering the JA curriculum designed to inspire and educate students about career possibilities and financial literacy.

Over the past decade, Boehringer employees have collectively volunteered 25,000 hours, positively impacting the lives of 4,659 students. This enduring partnership with Junior Achievement of Fairfield County exemplifies the commitment of The Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation (Boehringer Cares) to community engagement and education.

“Having members of our Value & Access team, including myself, volunteer at JA Day gives us the opportunity to share our passion for patients with the next generation of Healthcare and STEM professionals. The transformative impact of Junior Achievement on these students and preparing them for the future is an engaging and memorable way support and give back in our local communities.”
 -Chris Marsh, Senior Vice President, Value and Access

The JA curriculum equips students with essential skills and insights, helping them transform their interests into viable career paths. By sharing their professional experiences, volunteers serve as role models, fostering a sense of possibility and ambition among the students.

The event also enabled Boehringer volunteers to develop their skills and connect with colleagues who share a passion for giving back.

As we celebrate this decade-long partnership, Boehringer Ingelheim looks forward to continuing its commitment to inspiring and empowering future generations.
