Junior Achievement is the largest, fastest-growing, non-profit economic education organization in the world, reaching over 4 million elementary, middle and high school students in the U.S. and 106 countries worldwide.

By partnering with business and education, Junior Achievement recruits volunteer role models that link education to the workplace through their diverse outside perspectives. Volunteers provide five weekly visits at the elementary level, or up to ten visits at the middle and high school levels. These hands-on activities supplement the regular classroom curriculum with business, economics, education, and workforce readiness lessons.

Sequential, age-appropriate activities are designed for each grade level. This highly-interactive curriculum stresses the relevance of education to the workplace and helps prepare students for lifelong learning, teaching them about the importance of staying in school and what skills they will need to join tomorrow's workforce.

Junior Achievement secures the funding and recruits the volunteers to provide programs to elementary, middle, and high schools. Corporations, industry, small business, foundations, individuals, and others contribute financial and volunteer resources, as do various organizations that also want to invest in the quality of local education.
