Junior Economic Club of San Francisco
Are you a driven high school student in the Bay Area curious about topics such as business and finance?
The JEC is a student-run non-profit that aims to immerse high school students in economics, finance, and entrepreneurship. We are one branch of the larger Junior Economic Club that consists of nine branches across four countries. The JEC is a great way to make connections in the business world at a young age.
We do this by planning and hosting forums and webinars that consist of keynote speakers with successful CEOs, CFOs, and business professionals in general. The club is not affiliated with a specific school and we are looking to expand. This club offers internships, connections, and much more. We are looking for hard-working high school students that are willing to dedicate time to making JEC SF successful.
If you would like to apply to be a member, fill out the application linked below! Visit the JEC website for more insight on what is to come!
