Today is uncertain. Tomorrow represents hopes and dreams...
Junior Achievement helps prepare today's students for a bright future.
Tagline
JA of Delaware's ONLINE/DIGITAL/VIRTUAL Kindergarten-12th grade programs foster work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills, and use experiential learning to inspire students in our community to dream big and reach their potential.
We provide turn-key solutions for businesses to engage students through Delaware Pathways; rigorous and proven curriculum to educators for Delaware Financial Literacy Standards; and a world-class business start-up experience for teens to answer the Delaware Growth Agenda strategy around Youth Entrepreneurship.
Why Junior Achievement?

JA's unique, volunteer infused programs, show them all of the possibilities that lay before them. They realize they can choose different paths; College? A specific trade? Start their own business?
