About us
Junior Achievement of New Jersey (JANJ) inspires and prepares young people in grades K-12 to succeed in a global economy through real world relationships with business, government, and education partners that can help them develop the financial literacy, entrepreneurial, and employability skills needed to succeed in the 21st century. Our innovative hands-on curriculum – provided at no cost to schools, students, and their families – emphasizes real world learning, and motivates youth to achieve by connecting them with corporate and community role models committed to investing in their future. JA’s annual reach is 4.6 million+ students nationwide and 10 million+ worldwide, and during the 2017-2018 school year, JANJ touched the lives of 74,612 students statewide. Through a dedicated network of nearly 6,000 corporate and community volunteers, JA provided NJ students with over 910,000 JA instructional contact hours in 3,800+ classrooms. JA programs supplement school-based curriculum and provide activities that connect education, work and community. These programs are recognized for their integration of 21st century life and career skills within a progressive learning structure that enables the teaching and reinforcement of the financial literacy, critical thinking, collaboration and problem solving skills students need to earn and keep a job while simultaneously helping them meet the NJ Student Learning Standard 9 for 21st-Century Life and Careers graduation requirements. Thus, JA programs give financially challenged schools a no-cost way to provide their students with high-quality supplemental education geared to meeting NJ Department of Education's designated student competencies.

Many students excel in science, technology, engineering, or math but don't know what career field they can pursue. JA introduces many young people to professions and career paths that they may not have been aware of, such as those in STEM, by bringing volunteer role models from the community into the classroom to share their experiences with students.
