Join your fellow Greece Chamber members for First Friday Networking at the groundbreaking Paychex Junior Achievement Discovery Center, on Friday, December 6, 2024.

JA empowers students of all ages by connecting classroom learning with real life. Our programs foster financial capability, encourage entrepreneurial thinking, and provide tools for career and work readiness. The Paychex Junior Achievement Discovery Center is powerful example of this mission in action.

Through the Discovery Center programs, middle and high school students engage directly with a simulated economy that resembles Rochester, experiencing what it means to navigate adult life. With multiple classroom lessons to prepare them, students immerse themselves in an authentic, hands-on “mini economy” as employees, entrepreneurs, consumers, and citizens. They manage local businesses, earn wages, open bank accounts, vote, and budget for needs and wants.

The Discovery Center is the first of its kind in New York State. Since opening in January 2024, 4,800 students participated in this innovative programming between January – June 2024. More than 6,400 students are expected to participate this academic year.

The Chamber's Friday Morning Business Networking gives regional business owners and business professionals the opportunity to network informally before the business day begins.

If you are not a member of the Greece Regional Chamber of Commerce and would like to attend this event as a first-time guest, contact the Greece Chamber at (585) 227-7272 or email Info @GreeceChamber.org.
