Every day is Election Day at JA BizTown®! During their visit, students get to experience what it’s like to cast a ballot and participate in an election. This teaches them not only the importance of being civically engaged but to use their voices as well.

Take notes from our citizens and make sure to exercise your right to vote today! 🗳️

Some of the most important opportunities begin with a conversation, a connection, or the confidence to speak up.

JA's Empower Her Summit gives high school girls the opportunity to explore new interests, hear authentic career stories, and build relationships that can help them navigate what's next.

There are two opportunities to attend:

✨March 5: JA's Empower Her Summit presented by PPG at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh

Last week, we attended Build On 2026 with Transfr Inc., where students explored more than 60 career pathways through immersive VR technology. 🎮🥽

Through our ongoing partnership, we're seeing a clear trend: students tend to explore careers they already know, while many emerging occupations remain largely undiscovered.

That's why expanding career awareness matters. Through JA's Mobile Lending Library, educators can bring these experiences directly into their classrooms or educational events, helping students explore possibilities they may never have considered before.
