Junior Achievement gives young people the knowledge and skills they needs to own their economic success, plan for their future and make smart academic and economic choices. Our corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in our three pillars: financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied to the real world - enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
