With Junior Achievement chapters across the nation, the organization is dedicated to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed academic and economic choices. By fostering a clear understanding of how the world works, Junior Achievement guides youth in pursuing their dreams and investing in their futures. “Junior Achievement believes in the immense potential of young people,” said Kim Effenberger, of Junior Achievement. “Every day, we work to help students discover what’s possible, with hands-on learning experiences that connect classroom knowledge with real-world applications.”
In alignment with its mission, Junior Achievement strives to engage young people of diverse backgrounds, embrace innovative approaches, and teach the principles of market-based economics and sustainable entrepreneurship.
