Junior Achievement gives young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices.

JA corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship.

Thanks to a growing number of contributors, volunteers, and educators, over 150,000 Wisconsin students benefited from Junior Achievement last year! For more information, visit wisconsin.ja.org.
