JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT OF GREATER ST LOUIS

The mission of Junior Achievement, founded in 1919, is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in the global economy. JA educates kindergarten through high school youth about work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through hands-on experiential programs. JA inspires children by building hope, expanding their knowledge about business and economics and helping them explore the possibilities for the future. Our goal is to ensure that our youth are prepared to meet the challenges of the future, personally and professionally. They must develop the skills, competencies, talents, discipline, and motivation to be successful adults and positive contributing members of their communities.
