Why Junior Achievement?

Junior Achievement (JA) helps students realize the education they are getting today will help them to have a bright future tomorrow.

Through your participation with JA as an organization or as an individual, you will impact the students in our community. In fact, after Junior Achievement programs:

90% are confident managing their finances.
93% earn their high school diploma or GED (10% higher than the national average).
20% more income is earned compared to the general population.
88% are satisfied in their careers.
