Junior Achievement brings business people face to face with kids for the simplest of human interaction…sharing. Kids learn how to succeed in life and volunteers get to make a difference where it counts.Junior Achievement's programs are integrated during the school day and provide students at all grade levels with valuable economic information. This approach allows for students at all learning levels to be exposed to concepts relevant to their abilities. JA's unique approach allows volunteers from the community to deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. Embodying the heart of JA, our classroom volunteers transform the key concepts of our lessons into a message that inspires and empowers students to believe in themselves, showing them they can make a difference in the world, Throughout JA's sequential and integrated kindergarten through grade 12 programs, students use information, apply basic skills, think critically, and solve complex problems. All Junior Achievement programs are correlated to state academic standards. |

JA Lights the Way with the Capstone Experience
