Connection
Team Prodigee has joined forces with Junior Achievement to inspire "The Genius Generation" by sharing a message of hope and opportunity with each and every young person they reach.
Through their volunteer program, JA's 187,000 classroom volunteers inspire, prepare, and empower the leaders of tomorrow. They band together to teach the importance of workforce readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. JA volunteers believe they can make a difference - and teach 4 million students a year that they can make a difference, too.
About
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to educating students about workforce readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy through experiential, hands-on programs.
Programs
Junior Achievement 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.
Approach
JA's unique approach allows volunteers from the community to deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. Embodying the heart of JA, our 187,000 classroom volunteers transform the key concepts of our lessons into a message that inspires and empowers students to believe in themselves, showing them they can make a difference in the world.
