Junior Achievement is the passionate people behind a movement that seeks to educate and inspire young people to succeed in a global economy. JA enables caring adults to share their experience with students to show them what it takes to be successful. After all, kids are our future.
JA’s business and economics programs are for students in kindergarten through grade 12. The dynamic interaction between the volunteer and the students promotes active learning and brings theory to life.
JA’s unique approach integrates program materials, trainings, and support. JA is the successful bridge between education and business.
