Youth Development
Guided by Jim Moran’s philosophy that the future belongs to those who prepare
for it, we support youth development by providing opportunities for future
entrepreneurs. Youth Development gives elementary and high school students
the knowledge and skills needed to own their economic success, plan for the
future and make smart academic and economic choices. We do this by providing
corporate and community volunteers, hands-on experience, materials, scheduling
and training through partnership with Junior Achievement Big Bend.
Youth Achiever Awards
The Jim Moran Foundation, in partnership with Florida State University, annually
recognizes two African-American Youth Achievers as Jim Moran Scholars – high
school seniors from South Florida and North Florida – who are role models and
have received admission to FSU with an identifed fnancial barrier. Both Achievers
receive a four-year, needs-based scholarship with funding provided through The
Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship.
