Help teens by sharing your experience!

What is the need?

All of us read and use math virtually every day. However, we also deal with money, jobs, and business every single day but these critical life skills are not always being taught in school. Junior Achievements Learning Experiences are designed to help address this disconnect and give students the tools they need to increase their chances of achieving financial and career success.

We need you! JA coordinates with volunteers like you to serve as role models helping to positively impact young people’s lives by sharing your experiences, and knowledge.
