High School Programs

High School Programs focus on workforce readiness. Preparing our young people for their future roles, whether on the job or to continue their education remains a top priority for JA. Activities are geared toward real world training through a series of seven programs that help students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become productive citizens and workers.
