Our Work
Junior Achievement inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy. We provide hands-on K-12 learning experiences focusing on the pathways of work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.
The majority of our learning experiences occur at participating schools during the school day and are facilitated by JA volunteer mentors. Since JA learning experiences are correlated with state learning standards by grade and help prepare the next generation of workers and consumers, it's a win-win for schools and the business community!
In person volunteering will follow each school's policy regarding masks and vaccination status. Check with a JA team member or your assigned teacher for more details.
