Real stories, real impact

Kids can’t be what they can’t see. That’s why I volunteer for Junior Achievement. They give our young people an opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world application
JA VOLUNTEER

Junior Achievement has opened a lot of doors and allowed my daughter to continue to share her vision and strengthen her passions.
JA PARENT

You cannot quantify the impact your presence in the classroom has on the students to provide them with another role model to look up to for the expectations they have for their future
JA VOLUNTEER

This is such a beneficial program!
JA EDUCATOR

Coming from a town that only has one red light, I have not been exposed to all that is out there. Junior Achievement is changing that and taking me on a journey to help me find my place in this world. These opportunities through Junior Achievement have opened my eyes to so many new ideas, which I will forever be grateful for.
JA STUDENT

We just finished our last class of the year, and I have to say it was absolutely phenomenal! The kids absolutely loved the program as well. They all stayed after school voluntarily to take part and had a great time. The information was engaging, informative, and very relevant for them. They really enjoyed it.
