A Community of Influence, Action, and Impact
The Economic Futures Council is a community of visionary donors who each contribute $50,000 or more annually to JA British Columbia, not simply as a donation, but as an investment in the future of this province.
These individuals believe preparing youth for financial independence, work readiness, and entrepreneurship is foundational to building stronger communities, a resilient workforce, and an inclusive economy. Each member is closely connected to their impact, supporting areas that align with their values while expanding access to JA programs for youth who stand to benefit most, ensuring opportunity isn’t defined by circumstance.
They are not passive supporters. They are partners.
Members of the Economic Futures Council bring insight, perspective, and influence.
They open doors, elevate awareness, and challenge us to think bigger. Many have helped pilot new programs, supported bold ideas, and stood behind our work as it has grown and evolved. Their belief in what is possible allows JABC to plan further ahead, act with greater intention, and deepen our impact across British Columbia.
This is a group that understands something important: the return on early investment in youth is one of the most powerful forces in shaping a thriving society.
We are deeply grateful to the members of the Economic Futures Council for their leadership, generosity, and belief in the potential of British Columbia’s youth.
At JA British Columbia, every opportunity planted becomes a future realized, empowering youth with confidence, skills, and vision to shape brighter, stronger communities across generation.
