Our Mission

Teach children the value of economics and free enterprise

Empower them with real world learning and

Inspire them to find their own success.

Our Organization

Junior Achievement was founded in 1919 in Springfield, MA The program was designed to help young people recognize how their talent and abilities can create better lives for themselves and those around them. Locally, JA has enriched the lives of over 110,000 children since the local chapter began in 1972.

Our In-School Programs

Junior Achievement has sequential economic education programs for all students grades K-12. These programs taught by local business volunteers and parents, supplement the existing social studies curriculum with hands-on learning activities.
