Junior Achievement of Central Ohio

Junior Achievement of Central Ohio For 75 years, JA has empowered students across Central & Southeast Ohio with the confidence, skills, and economic knowledge to shape their futures.

As part of JA’s global network, we’re building a legacy of opportunity. Junior Achievement of Central Ohio was founded in 1950 by the Columbus Downtown Rotary Club. Junior Achievement is a volunteer driven, non-profit organization. This year in Central Ohio, more than 2,000 business professionals, parents, retirees and college students will enter our schools to teach Junior Achievement programs to more than 30,000 students in grades K-12. These volunteers use their personal experiences to make the Junior Achievement curricula practical and realistic.

Ever wondered what it's like to volunteer for Junior Achievement Finance Park? JA Volunteer Champion, Adam Pelka, makes his experience known 💪💡

"Personal finance is hard. Personal finance is personal. There is a huge gap in financial literacy among educated adults let alone children. I think with JA, striving to help young people succeed, nobody has the same financial situation, nor the same resources, and I think the sooner people can understand the impact of some of their decisions the more prepared they are for the future!

No matter how chaotic finance park is, you will always be able to find that eye opening experience. When you go to settle up the budget and realize all the things you can't afford, it really makes you stop and think, how can we afford this, and what changes/sacrifices do we have to make to be within our budget."

📣NEW BLOG POST📣

As another school year begins, perhaps the most important question isn't whether students are showing up. It's whether they're engaged.

When students understand why they're learning something—and how it connects to their future—motivation, confidence, and achievement grow. Student engagement isn't a secondary outcome. It's the foundation for academic success, career readiness, and economic mobility.

How are we making learning more relevant for today's students?
