Our purpose is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy.  JA programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to manage money effectively and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace.

Our Core Purpose

Junior Achievement was founded in 1919 by Theodore Vail, president of American Telephone & Telegraph and Horace Moses, president of Strathmore Paper Co.

In 1975 the organization went from an after-school only program to include the elementary and middle school classrooms
