The Leader In Experiential Learning

As an educator, you work hard to engage your students. With all of the distractions inside and outside the classroom, it can be an incredibly challenging task...a task you are measured against even though much of it is beyond your control.

At Junior Achievement, we understand, and we are here to help.

With more than a century of experience and a national presence, we are the leading experiential learning organization in the country. At low or no cost, our proven learning experiences can engage your students by helping them better understand the connection between what they learn in school and life outside the classroom, fostering confidence and promoting a greater interest in learning in the process.

The best part, we are here, ready to help, and will continue to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is my classroom investment?

We understand that your classroom time is limited. A JA Program is typically taught one hour a day for one week. You can also choose to do it all in one day!

Are JA programs relevant to my teaching goals?

All JA programs align with State Standards and Common Core. JA's engaging program activities help to enhance meeting these goals. Learn more about how JA Programs meet State Standards and Common Core. Learn more about how JA Programs meet State Standards and Common Core.

Where do the volunteers come from?

JA programs are delivered by trained corporate and community volunteers who share their skills and personal and professional experiences to make learning come to life.

Are JA Programs effective?

Yes! An independent research firm showed that an average of eight out of 10 high school students reported that JA programs helped reinforce the importance of staying in school. In longitudinal studies, JA students were significantly more likely than their peers to believe that they would graduate from high school, pursue post-secondary education and graduate from college.
