We’re planning to convert these words into local action to affect meaningful, systemic change.

We at Junior Achievement thoroughly condemn racism in any form and reject a culture of hate. We are committed to helping all young people reach their potential. This goal is reflected in our values, which include respect for the talents, creativity, perspectives, and backgrounds of all individuals. We celebrate the right to peacefully protest as a way to create the understanding necessary for lasting change.
