Purpose
To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy

Our programs are funded by businesses and individuals, and are designed to be taught in the classroom by business, parent, and community volunteers. Classroom volunteers make economic concepts relevant, fuel the entrepreneurial spirit, and challenge the students to excel. JA's unique delivery system provides the training, materials, and support necessary to ensure a positive experience. Our materials include curriculum for elementary, middle and high school students.

JA Day

A JA Day event takes place at a local elementary school giving volunteers the opportunity to teach Junior Achievement’s (JA’s) financial literacy and workforce readiness curriculum in a condensed time frame. JA’s activity-based programs are taught over the course of one school day (from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm) by teams of two. This program is a powerful team-building experience as well as a memorable community service project.  The benefit for the school is a free program that meets educational standards, with minimal time taken from the classroom.
