Junior
Achievement
Founded nationally in 1919, Junior Achievement is the largest,
oldest, fastest growing nonprofit economic organization in
the world. Our Purpose is to educate and inspire young people
to value free enterprise and understand business and economics
to improve the quality of their lives. Junior Achievement
enables caring adults to share their experience with students
to show them what it takes to be successful. After all, kids
are our future.
We do this by developing:
- The desire in young people to stay in school and appreciate
lifelong learning.
- Creating positive attitudes toward work and contributing
to a diverse society.
- Business and education partnerships that a bridge between
classroom and the workplace.
We differentiate our program by providing:
- Sequential and integrated programs K-12.
- Volunteer role models from the business community with
diverse backgrounds who support all classroom programs.
- Activity based learning experience. The dynamic interaction
between the volunteer and the students promotes active learning
and brings theory to life.
You can get involved with JA in your community:
- Donate your time and expertise as a classroom consultant.
- Participate in Junior Achievement sponsored events.
- Contribute financial resources for class funding.
Junior Achievement of Southwest Florida is the successful
bridge between education and business. For more information
