Empowering young people to own their economic success. Junior Achievement's mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Our mission is to teach students in public schools K-12 about money. How to earn it, how to save it, how to spend it and how to share it - giving them the tools they need to change their path and change their life forever. At JA, students develop ambitions beyond their own economic reward, understanding that entrepreneurship is not only a means to financial wellbeing for themselves and their families but also a vehicle to for social stability and inclusiveness. Junior Achievement has been nominated three times for the Nobel peace prize by operating in areas of political instability, violence, and war, helping youth build entrepreneurship skills and economic resilience. By creating opportunity, our work helps youth develop the skillset and mindset to build thriving communities.
