INSPIRE AND PREPARE YOUNG PEOPLE TO SUCCEED

Junior Achievement Helps Prepare Today’s Students for a Bright Future

Imagine a generation of students armed with the confidence and understanding to take control of their futures and equipped to achieve their dreams. We are working to give our region’s youth the hope to see a brighter future and the skills to answer the demands of the 21st-century economy with “I can.” In partnership with the education and business communities, Junior Achievement is transforming the student experience by bringing relevance, authenticity and application into everyday learning to energize students about their future possibilities.
