JA My Journey^®

JA My Journey® is a series of workbooks that introduces elementary students to financial literacy, work readiness, entrepreneurial mindset, and essential early grade-level social studies, writing, and mathematics learning skills. Students are also introduced to six key mindset characteristics to support their growth toward economic success.

With workbooks for each grade level, Pre-K through 5th grade, JA My Journey is designed for independent learning and is flexible to accommodate varying delivery methods to meet different students and settings.

Request a Presenter to Teach Curriculum

A Junior Achievement Volunteer teaches students

Junior Achievement lessons are delivered by volunteers from the community. These presenters are prepared by JA to facilitate engaging learning activities that focus on financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship. This results in an enriched learning experience that helps students make the connection between what they learn in school and the world outside the classroom.

Steps to Request a Presenter

1) Request Info

Once you've decided to have a JA volunteer in your classroom, fill out the form on this website. You will receive information on next steps.

2) Pick Schedule

You will be able to coordinate a schedule that works for your class either online or in conjunction with a JA representative.

3) Meet Presenter

Once a volunteer is identified for your class, JA will connect you with the presenter to discuss roles, expectations, and logistics.

4) Empower Students with Standards-Based Education

After all details are in place, the JA volunteer will deliver lessons to your students either virtually or in-person.
