As we usher in 2024, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible journey we've shared and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. This year is not just about turning a new page but also embracing the power of possibilities that define Junior Achievement.

Our alumni embody the essence of this spirit, showcasing the tangible impact of JA programs on shaping young minds. In this edition, to celebrate JA Alumni Month, we shine a spotlight on their inspiring stories, illustrating the transformative influence of financial literacy, entrepreneurship and workforce readiness. 

Each success story reaffirms our commitment to fostering skills, igniting ambition and fueling dreams. 

As we navigate the exciting opportunities of 2024, we hope you'll join us as we continue empowering the next generation to reach new heights. Your support and involvement can help build the future for thousands of students.

New Year, New Staff, New Career Opportunities

As we celebrate JA Alumni Month, we reflect on the incredible journeys that each of our alum have embarked on since their experiences in JA programs.

According to a recent JA Alumni survey, we've learned that as a result of their student JA experiences, our alumni start more companies and report higher levels of household income and career satisfaction. Our alumni also save more, hold less debt and are less likely to spend more than they earn. Read the full report.
