games and activities with over 17,000 local
students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Every Junior Achievement experience is
designed to connect kids to their future and
make education relevant by showing young
people how to become successful adults.
Junior Achievement volunteers show kids
how to: earn and manage money, launch business start-ups and explore careers that match their interests.
