Volunteer of the Year
Josh Riekena

 

Josh began as a volunteer for JA in 2007.  He has volunteerd at Peoria Notre Dame and most recently at Dunlap High School for the last 11 years working with Junior and Senior marketing students.  Working closely with Angie Stancil, marketing teacher for DHS, he has worked to make JA a vital and respected part of their curriculum. Josh and his wife Holly have 4 children age 5-10 and are actively involved in the community.  When asked about his time and work with JA, Josh noted “Giving back to the community and especially being able to invest in the youth of our area is one of the best parts of owning my own business.  It is especially rewarding to see former students succeeding in business and the long term impact of seeing them years down the road.”
