About Us
Junior Achievement is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs.

Junior Achievement 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’s unique approach allows volunteers from our community to deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. Embodying the heart of JA, our 662 classroom volunteers transform the key concepts of our lessons into a message that inspires and empowers more than 10,400 students to believe in themselves, showing them they can make a difference in the world.
