Junior State of America Announces Closure after 90 Years of Promoting Youth Civic Engagement It is with a heavy heart that the Board of Directors of the Junior State of America JSA is announcing the closure and dissolution of the organization effective August 31 2024. After 90 years of inspiring student engagement in civics and activism and after long business considerations we have made this difficult decision to officially close the organization. Since its founding in 1934 JSA has empowered thousands of young leaders to develop a passion for public affairs debate and community involvement through handson civic programs. Our students have literally reached every level of government and helped shape the America we live in and enjoy today and tomorrow.
