WHAT’S NEXT

Junior Achievement’s learning experiences help students achieve academically today and economically tomorrow.

Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain (JA) is part of the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to motivating kids for future career success, self-sufficiency, and financial acumen. We accomplish this through a huge network of stellar volunteers who share their stories with young people and deliver lessons in career readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship.

“Junior Achievement has profoundly impacted my life. As a runaway undocumented minor, I had few aspirations beyond surviving day-to-day. Discovering JA’s programming was a turning point.

“Through programs like JA Finance Park, I gained essential skills that enabled me to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree debt-free.  The programs also equipped me to navigate the complex immigration process, leading to my acquiring U.S. citizenship! The financial literacy imparted by JA’s dedicated staff empowered me to overcome significant economic and social barriers.

“Words cannot describe how grateful I am for JA. Today, I make a difference for others by volunteering in the classroom and at JA Finance Park.” -JA alumna Svetlana Mikhaylova
