Financial Literacy, Work Readiness,
Entrepreneurship...
JA
programs help prepare young people for the real
world by showing them how to generate wealth and
effectively manage it, how to create jobs which
make their communities more robust, and how to
apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace.
Students put these lessons into action and learn
the value of contributing to their communities.
JA volunteers
inspire & prepare young people to succeed...
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 1,800 classroom
volunteers transform the key concepts of our
lessons into a message that inspires and
empowers students to believe in themselves,
showing them that they can make a difference in
the world.
Why Junior Achievement in the
Classroom?
Junior Achievement's
unique delivery system provides the training, materials,
and support necessary to bolster the chances for student
success. We help arrange for business people and local
community leaders to visit classrooms a few times
or throughout the semester. They volunteer to
share their workforce experience with students,
all while teaching sound economic principles and
reinforcing class curricula.
