Mission Statement
Since 1950, Junior Achievement of Northern California's mission has been to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Junior Achievement (JA) is the region's largest and fastest growing organization dedicated to educating young people about financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship. Through age-appropriate curricula, our programs begin at the elementary school level, teaching children how they can impact the world around them as individuals, workers, and consumers. JA programs continue through the middle and high school grades, preparing students for additional key economic and workforce issues they will face in the future.
