Peter Truschke joined the Junior Achievement of Chicago staff in April 1993. He
served as Operations Manager, Director of Operations and spent 13 years as Vice
President of Operations. Peter served on the pilot launch for Careers with a
Purpose and on the Culture task force. He was a part of the launch and foundation
of the Whole School Program in Chicago where they matched organizations with
schools to provide all the financial support and volunteers to adopt the entire
school. This model was a key growth initiative that helped JA of Chicago increase
its outreach both in students and fundraising. Peter was a key member of the
Chicago program staff during his 25-year career and saw the organization grow
from impacting 65,000 students when he started his career to over 600,000 students
who received JA programs in his last year with the organization. Peter left JA
in June 2018 and currently serves as Business Manager for The Community Crisis
Center, Inc. an organization that helps survivors of domestic violence, sexual
assault and economic crisis.
