Junior Achievement
ExxonMobil provides grants to local, regional, national and international Junior Achievement organizations that educate and inspire young people to understand business and economics, while also preparing them to enter the workforce. In addition, trained ExxonMobil employee volunteers lead specific lesson plans at schools of their choice.
