JA’s business and economics programs are for students in kindergarten through grade 12.  The dynamic interaction between the volunteer and the students promotes active learning and brings theory to life.

JA’s unique approach integrates program materials, trainings, and support. JA is the successful bridge between education and business.

Students -- JA students demonstrated a significant understanding of economics and business concepts – particularly those who participated in programs at consecutive grade levels, as determined by independent evaluators.

Mentors -- Volunteers serve as role models to help young people better understand economic concepts in order to become successful in the workplace and in life.

Investors -- Business, foundations, and individuals support JA because it teaches students about economic and business and because JA’s positive impact is measurable.

Educators -- Teachers welcome Junior Achievement’s resources because they enhance the learning environment and reinforce the classroom curricula.
