Junior Achievement of Georgia and its partners inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Our volunteer-led programs teach K-12 students about business and entrepreneurship, personal financial literacy, and workforce readiness. We strive to impact tomorrow’s business and community leaders by bridging the gap between the business and education communities, encouraging Georgia’s youth to set long term career goals and showing them the value of education. Our turn-key curriculum aligns to the Georgia Performance Standards, enhancing what students are learning in the classroom with real world examples and hands-on application of knowledge.
Founded locally in 1943, JA of Georgia has offices in Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus (West Central District), Dalton (Northwest Georgia District), Gainesville, and Savannah. During the 2008-2009 school year JA of Georgia impacted over 113,000 students statewide.
To provide our programs free of charge, JA of Georgia relies on the generous support of our donors.
JA of Georgia’s volunteers are the critical link between the business and education communities.
Teachers are where everything starts; get your students involved in Junior Achievement.
