Organizations Filed Purposes:
Junior Achievement shows students how money, careers and business ownership work through proven programs delivered by dedicated volunteer role models.
Our mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in the global economy.
Junior Achievement (JA) programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities. JA's elementary school programs are the foundation of its K-12 curricula. Six sequential themes, each with five hands-on activities, as well as an after-school and capstone experience, work to change students' lives by helping them understand business and economics. The middle grade programs build on concepts the students learned in Junior Achievement's elementary school program and help teens make difficult decisions about how to best prepare for their educational and professional future. The programs supplement standard social studies curricula and develop communication skills that are essential to success in the business world. As high school students begin to position themselves for their future, there are many unanswered questions about what lies ahead. Junior Achievement's high school programs help students make informed, intelligent decisions about their future, and foster skills that will be highly useful in the business world. Junior Achievement of Greater Kansas City reached 7,039 students in the Kansas City metropolitan area and St. Joseph, Missouri area through 326 classes taught by over 410 volunteers throughout the 2019-2020 academic year. Through these classes, students received 49,154 contact hours of instruction that meets the common core educational standards recognized in Kansas and Missouri.
