JA Works!

Teachers welcome JA's programs because they enrich student learning and align with curriculum standards.

 Junior Achievement provides in-class and after school programs to students in grades K-12. Colorful, age appropriate materials and hands-on activities give students the chance to practice the skills they learn. Community minded classroom volunteers bring real world experience and examples, making JA the leader in entrepreneurial education.

JA programs benefit students by correlating with state standards for education in the subjects of Social Studies, English Language Arts, and Math; helping improve student testing scores; and training and coordinating outside volunteers to introduce students to real world concepts.
