About Junior Achievement
Students entering school today may have difficulty preparing for the future in our rapidly changing economy. JA is here to help.
JA’s elementary school program gradually broadens their view and understanding of the world around them: from personal economics involving themselves and their families to the issues that impact their community, national and global economies.
By the middle grades, students need to see the relevance of education and how it relates to their economic well-being.
JA’s high school programs offer older students many hands-on opportunities to learn and understand the skills needed to be workforce ready.
The volunteer-led activities help ready today’s students to become tomorrow’s productive, contributing members of society.
What we aspire to become. . .
Junior Achievement maintains an active vision, front and center, on how we can have a positive impact on the lives of more students—guided by our core values. From our values, we articulate our purpose and vision, comprised of our core ideology:
To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.
It’s not an easy task. But it’s the kind of challenge that JA takes on with creative energy, fervor, and decisive action.
Junior Achievement has recently adopted a strategic plan to guide the organization’s growth and development over the next several years. This plan will ensure that JA is vital to those who build the future.
We invite you to take up the challenge with us. Get involved today!
