What is certain is that Junior Achievement students are better prepared to succeed – and create their own futures.

Perhaps the most important finding is that JA students are more optimistic about achieving future success. Optimism is the underpinning of advancement – not just material advancement – but also societal advancement and the enrichment of our neighborhoods and schools, our businesses and communities.
We depend on individuals to provide this critical education to as many students in Marion County as possible.
