Junior Achievement of Southwest New England

Mission

At Junior Achievement, we give young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. Our business volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that teach students from kindergarten through high school the basics of financial literacy, workforce readiness, and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world, increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
