Evans, GA – SRP Federal Credit Union and Junior Achievement (JA) Discovery Center of the CSRA celebrated the unveiling of the newly branded SRP Federal Credit Union Boardroom with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on January 31, 2025.

Located inside the JA Discovery Center on River Watch Parkway in Evans, GA, the boardroom will serve as a dedicated meeting space for JA and its corporate sponsors, further enhancing the center’s mission of financial literacy and career readiness for students.

The newly branded space features a striking wall dedicated to SRP’s High School Affinity Debit Card program, alongside a detailed timeline showcasing the credit union’s rich history.

SRP Federal Credit Union has been a proud founding partner of the JA Discovery Center of the CSRA since its opening in 2023.

The center provides hands-on financial education to students from the Columbia County School District and the Richmond County School System through interactive programs like JA Finance Park and JA BizTown. These simulations immerse students in a real-world economy, helping them develop essential skills in personal finance, entrepreneurship, and career planning.

Community Impact

Grace Helms, Assistant Vice President of Marketing, Communications, and Community Development at SRP Federal Credit Union, emphasized SRP’s ongoing commitment to financial education and community support.

“Junior Achievement's mission to provide financial education to young people aligns perfectly with our dedication to equipping individuals of all ages with essential financial skills,” said Helms. “By working together, we are helping to empower the next generation with the knowledge they need to build strong, financially sustainable futures.”

SRP Federal Credit Union remains committed to supporting Junior Achievement, with numerous SRP team members actively participating as past and present instructors in JA programs.

Laney Mize, Director of Development for Greater Augusta at Junior Achievement of Georgia said, “SRP has been a huge supporter of Junior Achievement through providing employee volunteers and funding.” 

“SRP influences and educates students, but also adult visitors as well,” said Mize. “The SRP Boardroom is a place where JA Partners can hold meetings and also learn the impressive history and culture of what SRP Federal Credit Union has to offer to the CSRA.”
