Inspire Tomorrow’s CPAs this Fall

The annual MACPA Accounting Blitz is right around the corner! Each year, elementary school students from around the state welcome CPAs into their classrooms to teach business basics through Junior Achievement’s (JA) lesson plans.

This fall, blitzes will be held in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Traverse City.

Those interested in volunteering for the program in one of these cities can sign up now – volunteering is easy! Training and classroom materials/lessons are provided by JA, and you can even choose the school and grade of your choice. Your commitment is for one day (of course you can sign up for more than one blitz!). You do not have to be a CPA to volunteer, and you’re welcome to bring a friend or colleague along to teach with you. As a volunteer, you just may plant the seed for future accounting professionals.

Give back to your community by volunteering today for future MACPA Accounting Blitzes. Contact Esther Apt at eapt@michcpa.org or 248.267.3739.
