ABOUT JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT
Junior Achievement ensures that every child in America has a fundamental understanding of the free enterprise system by providing economic education programs to students in kindergarten through twelfth grade classrooms. By participating in these types of programs, students are able to develop the desire to stay in school, have a positive attitude toward work and appreciate lifelong learning, and become prepared for a future of success and leadership. Volunteers from local businesses bring JA’s real world economic lessons into classrooms, serve as role models, share their working lives, and help students gain a new sense of self-esteem, respect for others and understanding of how to turn challenges into opportunities. During the 2022-23 academic year, Junior Achievement of Kansas will have worked with more than 20,000 children including nearly 4,500 children in the Lawrence area.
