JA continues to innovate, working with other organizations to provide additional educational opportunities. Partnerships with Exchange City in Kansas City, MO and Enterprise Village in Pinellas County, Florida led to new program designs. Local areas now have more than 20 programs to offer! International programs grew exponentially, resulting in a separate organization focused specifically on programs outside the US.
