About
Junior Achievement of Wisconsin - Northeast Region Programs include daily lessons, hands-on activities, team-building games, and in-class learning. The program features the JA Titan simulation and a JA BizTown Summer Camp where campers jumpstart their journey into adulthood. JA BizTown begins with in-class learning and culminates with a day-long visit to a fully interactive, simulated town where students operate the economy of a small city.
• Schedule: Participants will spend the first four days of camp learning key economic concepts and work readiness skills that prepare them for the real world, and on the final day they work together to run JA BizTown.
Junior Achievement was founded in 1919. Junior Achievement's purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Junior Achievement uses financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurial concepts to emphasize the importance of continuing education and training beyond high school, especially in high-growth, high-demand fields. Junior Achievement’s experiential learning approach uses these concepts so that students engage in critical and creative thinking, collaboration, communication, and technical literacy skills. Junior Achievement is one of a few nonprofits to use independent, third-party evaluators to gauge the impact of its programs.
Junior Achievement 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 futures, and make smart academic and economic choices. Junior Achievement reaches more than 4.7 million students per year in 208,373 classrooms and after-school locations nationally and has over 100 local JA Areas across the nation. Junior Achievement of Wisconsin - Northeast Region reached 20,569 students locally in 2024–2025, with 1,094 volunteers, 827 classes, 167 schools reached, and 164,805 contact hours.

Junior Achievement of Wisconsin - Northeast Region is a nonprofit that inspires and prepares young people for success, and its programs are delivered with the help of education partners and volunteers from the local community.
