Students Reached Recent History and Goals:

JA of South Central PA has had a
great track record of growth. From 1961 to
2006, there were only a few years where student numbers
didn't increase. The rapid
growth however has come in the past decade.
In 1998 we were reaching slightly
under 10,000 students. By 2001, 20,000 and
by 2004, 30,000.
This past year over 25,500
students received a JA experience in the classroom.
Plus 7,300 students came through our Exchange City
program. A total of over 32,800 students.
Our strategic plan
calls for reaching over 55,000 students by 2011.
