About us
Junior Achievement inspires and prepares students to succeed in a global economy. Our programs educate young people to value free enterprise, business and economics through the support of teachers, parents, and volunteers in the classroom. JA uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand how the real-world works. In partnership with business and educators, Junior Achievement brings the real-world to students, opening their minds to their potential and showing them that they can make a difference in the world. JA 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.

"Ideally, Generation Z shouldn't have to resort to unconventional living situations to afford homes. Beyond the rising prices and stagnant wages, many young adults face difficulties qualifying for mortgages due to high debt, low credit scores, and poor credit histories. These financial challenges often stem from large student loan debts and low pay, but poor financial management is also a factor. A lack of financial literacy, which isn't always taught in schools, plays a significant role." Read more: https://lnkd.in/g4aPa75w #JuniorAchievement #GenZ #Homeownership #FinancialLiteracy
