Welcome to
Junior Achievement of Southern Massachusetts!
What is Junior Achievement?
With more than 65 years of experience, Junior Achievement of Southern Massachusetts offers innovative financial literacy, college and career readiness, and entrepreneurship education to more than 4,000 local students in grades K-12 each year. JA empowers students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world, enhancing relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
Junior Achievement prepares students for the economics of life, educating young people to value free enterprise, business and economics through the support of teachers, parents, and volunteers in the classroom. In partnership with business and educators, we use hands-on experiences to help students understand how the real world works, opening their minds to their potential and showing them that they can make a difference in the world.
Junior Achievement programs complement and support the great work that teachers accomplish by helping educate students in personal finance and practical workplace skills, preparing them to pursue their careers as well as their dreams.
