JA Worldwide
JA Worldwide teaches smaller people about big business. Doing business as Junior Achievement (JA), the organization educates students in grades K-12 about business, economics, and free enterprise. JA Worldwide conducts its activities in more than 100 countries. JA's programs reach 8.3 million children each year and focus on such areas as citizenship, career development, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and ethics, among others. Some 287,000 classroom volunteers assist with the organization's activities through about 140 chapters nationwide. JA Worldwide funding comes from individual contributions and corporate donations. The group was established in 1919. While Junior Achievement was started in 1919, its first official home was not ready until 1925. The original JA headquarters building was located in Springfield, MA.
