Nelli Bodrenko - is a Baruch College volunteer who taught the JA Business Ethics curriculum at Norman Thomas High School this year. After completing JA Business Ethics, she realized that most of her students lacked basic survival skills (i.e., when asked what they would take to a deserted island to help them survive, most of them said "Food...and iPods.") Working with a professor and the classroom teacher, she took the initiative to visit the class to prepare and deliver an extra lesson (not JA) about making good choices and its connection to survival. Way to go Nelli! JANY thanks you on behalf of the students of New York City.
Siwen Liao - is a Baruch College volunteer, who taught at PS 111 this year. He recruited 4 of his friends to register as volunteers with JANY this year.

JANY thanks you on behalf of the students of New York City.
Joshua Kinnebrew - is an Ernst & Young volunteer who taught JA It's My Business at Mott Hall II this year.
