Junior Achievement (JA) programs have a proven significant impact on students’ desire to stay in school, their understanding of the relationship between education and success in the workplace and their confidence in their ability to graduate from high school and even college.  We are looking forward to increase awareness of JA and give over 40,000 youth the opportunities they deserve and the skills they need to compete and succeed in school, in today’s business environment and in life and we hope that you will join our efforts and help make this possible.
