About
Junior Achievement USA Youth Programs are part of Junior Achievement USA, which offers learning experiences in work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. These programs use an experiential learning approach that includes activities focused on financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurial concepts, and they emphasize the importance of continuing education and training beyond high school. The programs are taught by volunteers in classrooms and after-school locations in inner cities, suburbs, and rural areas throughout the United States, through over 100 Area Offices in all 50 states.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
Junior Achievement was founded in 1919. Junior Achievement USA is the nation’s largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. Junior Achievement’s purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Junior Achievement USA reaches over 4.4 million students per year in 176,714 classrooms and after-school locations and provides strategic direction, leadership, and support to approximately 1,845 employees throughout the United States.
Junior Achievement’s 151,305 classroom volunteers come from business, college students, parents, and retirees. Junior Achievement partners with corporations and individuals to fund the programs that are delivered to local students, and the programs are delivered with the help of education partners and volunteers from the local community. Research shows that JA Alumni are more likely to have a college degree, feel confident managing money, have career success, and have started a business as an adult.
Junior Achievement is one of a few nonprofits to use independent, third-party evaluators to gauge the impact of its programs and has consistently received high grades for accountability and transparency. Mr. Arnold B. Evans, Co-Head of Emerging Middle Market JPMorgan Chase, is Chairman of the Junior Achievement USA Board of Directors. Jack Harris is the Chief Executive Officer of Junior Achievement, and Tim Greinert is President of Junior Achievement.
