Four Simple Ways to Give Back to Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement of South Florida empowers our youth with the knowledge, ability and confidence to navigate their futures, drive our economy and lead our community.

However, we cannot continue inspiring tomorrows without your help. There are numerous ways to get involved with Junior Achievement and help us train the next generation of business leaders, employees and consumers by educating students about financial literacy, entrepreneurship and work readiness. Here are just four easy ways to give back:

  • Choose JA on AmazonSmile: a portion of some purchases comes back to support our mission.

  • Participate in the CITY Furniture Test Rest Initiative: test a mattress and receive a $25 Visa or Starbucks gift card and JA receives a matching $25.

  • Volunteer/Mentor JA Fellows Business Incubator Students: guide our future entrepreneurs as they create, market and sell their products.

  • Invest in Tomorrow's Leaders Today: make a financial donation to Junior Achievement.
Why Work Needs Meaning
“The Great Resignation" has been in the news lately.

There has been significant turnover of young workers, many citing burnout and job dissatisfaction for their reasons to seek other opportunities. For this Labor Day and beyond, Junior Achievement has developed a thought leadership piece and video. These resources focus on the importance of aligning interests, talents, and passion with jobs and how JA learning experiences are one way to do this.

At Junior Achievement, part of our focus is to help students become work- and career-ready. We do this by helping them understand the relevance of what they are learning in school to future success.
