Empower and Connect with Future Leaders at JA Inspire
Do you remember what is was like trying to figure out what you wanted to be when you grew up? It can be a confusing journey! We're looking for businesses to participate in
JA Inspire, an interactive career exploration day that helps today's youth get a clearer understanding of potential career opportunities.

Special Anniversary Brew to be Featured at JA World Uncorked
"We met with Junior Achievement to come up with a specialty crafted beer for their 60th Anniversary, which will be unveiled at the JA World Uncorked event." - Jon Linn, Funky Buddha BreweryBrand Director.
Junior Achievement of South Florida is fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers like Bob Alden!
"My entire life has been about volunteering and philanthropy. JA gives me an opportunity to talk about the importance of financial literacy, which is not generally taught to today's youth in our schools. It fills a critical need." - Bob said.
