Our mission at Junior Achievement is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.  Junior Achievement's programs are funded by businesses and individuals, and are therefore provided to schools and other student organizations free of charge. The programs are designed to be taught in the classroom by business, parent, and community volunteers. Classroom volunteers make economic concepts relevant, fuel the entrepreneurial spirit, and challenge the students to excel. Our unique delivery system provides the training, materials and support necessary to ensure a positive experience. Materials include curriculum for elementary, middle and high school students
