Junior Achievement (JA) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to educating and inspiring young people about business and economics. The JA experience helps young people discover leadership, entrepreneurial and workforce readiness skills so they can achieve their highest potential and future successes as citizens in the global community.
Junior Achievement of Canada (JACAN) was formed in 1967. JACAN develops, markets and licenses the JA brand of youth business and economic education programs in Canada. Through its network of 32 Chartered offices, JA programs have grown to reach more than 1.2 million young Canadians in over 400 communities.
JA programs teach young people about business and economics through age appropriate activities that complement class curricula. JA’s current program line-up includes programs at the elementary, middle and high school levels.
Annually more than 11,000 Canadians volunteer with JA, helping young people understand how business and economics really work.
JA’s ability to reach young people and improve lives depends on the support it receives from its partners, contributors and volunteers. Junior Achievement would like to thank all of its supporters.
