JA serving Marshall County partners with local schools and the business community to prepare our youth for economically independent futures based on strong economic knowledge and solid personal financial management skills. At every grade level, JA programs expose students to basic business concepts and the skills that enable them to understand real-life economics. Community volunteers visit local K-12 classrooms to deliver JA's professionally developed learning activities and share their real world experiences with students, helping students build an understanding of economic choices and the resulting consequences of each decision. JA students develop the skills necessary to be confident adults, be financially literate, be able to set and achieve goals, be part of an educated local workforce, create new jobs and businesses, and raise families without outside financial support.
