Junior Achievement serving Miami County

Junior Achievement aims to teach young people about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship by connecting local volunteers to teach our curriculum in the local schools. We have specialized material for each grade level, with each year building on the prior. This comes at little to no cost to the schools so without the communities help this would not be possible.

Peru Circus Festival Band inc.

The Peru Circus Band is a great organization that is made up of members from Peru and surrounding communities. For over 60 years it has accompanied the Peru Amateur Circus, providing live music for all home circus performances. They also perform free concerts throughout the summer in Peru, and other communities. Members range in experience from beginners to professional players, and vary in age from middle school to senior citizens. It provides a wonderful opportunity for young musicians to learn from more experienced players, gain confidence in their ability and skills, and provide an outlet for their talent. They are a nonprofit organization that is 100% donor funded, and each year they purchase music, licensing, and equipment (instruments, stands, microphones and sound equipment, etc.) in order to continue doing what they love, as well as maintaining their property and keeping up with utilities. On top of regular expenses they also provide annual scholarships for young band members.
