Youth Development, Economic Development, Education Development, Financial Literacy The JA program is in over 85 schools in our area.

By partnering business with education, JA recruits volunteers to teach business and economic-oriented programs for students K-12. Business leaders, as volunteers, teach Junior Achievement’s activity-based programs which are centered upon real-world topics. The volunteers bring their real life experience in business and economics to life and help children to see the relevance of education and the importance of staying in school. Volunteers are viewed by students as mentors as well as points of contact to the business world. Junior Achievement programs are field tested in classrooms and updated in response to comments from teachers, students and volunteers. They correlate to state educational standards in Louisiana. All JA programs are evaluated by an independent research firm, and the results of those evaluations are used to revise and improve the instructional models.
