Junior Achievement's programs are designed to prepare
and inspire students from Kindergarten through 12th grade to succeed in a global
economy. They are taught by trained volunteer role models
from the local community - including business professionals, parents, and college
students - using professionally designed and rigorously
evaluated curriculum materials. Programs are typically presented by JA's volunteers
for 30-45 minutes each week for five to seven weeks, with the exact time commitments
dependent upon the grade level of the students.
JA programs give students the opportunity to practice cooperation, teamwork,
decision-making, and leadership skills through numerous exciting hands-on activities.
The programs fully correlate with state educational
content standards and have been endorsed by many
local Superintendents. All JA program focus on the key content areas of
entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy.
Junior Achievement's programs are always offered free of charge, at absolutely
no expense to the students, educators, or schools. They're easy to implement, and
educators will receive ongoing support from the JA staff
throughout the program.
