We are the passionate people behind a movement that seeks to inspire and
prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.
Altogether, Junior Achievement reaches approximately 6 million students worldwide. Through age-appropriate curricula, Junior Achievement programs begin at the elementary school level, teaching children how they can impact the world around them as individuals, workers and consumers. Junior Achievement programs continue through the middle and high school grades, preparing students for future economic and workforce issues they'll face.
We do all this with the help of our volunteers. Volunteers who so care about
our youth they take time out of their day to make a difference. How do we
know this? We have external evaluators measure the impact of our programs.
