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, as well as the educators,
volunteers, and
students who experience them. 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.
