We're looking for business professionals to share about their path into their career and teach our JA grade-specific curriculum. This curriculum meets national common core standards and includes everything you'll need for the day! Including a teaching guide, all the activities and games, and end of day certificates for the kids! Prieto Elementary School has been working with Junior Achievement of Chicago for almost 10 year! We love this school and the enthusiasm of the student and staff.
Teaching kids to save money, have a business mindset, and explore entrepreneurial skills makes them 3 times more likely to start their own business! For real! compared to those who haven't participated in JA, our alum are 3 times more likely to be small business owners!

Mission Statement
To inspire and prepare young people to succeed in the global economy.
Description
Junior Achievement is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future, and make smart academic and economic choices. In partnership with businesses and educators, JA brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.
Our corporate and community volunteers deliver relevant, hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. JA programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world - enhancing the relevance of their classroom learning and increasing their understanding of the value of staying in school.
Throughout JA's sequential and integrated kindergarten through high school programs, students think critically and solve complex problems. Through our business, financial, and entrepreneurial educational programs, we prepare students to:
- Proactively manage their finances;
- Become entrepreneurs; and
- Develop skills that will be recognized and valued in a global workforce.
During the 2017-2018 school year, JA of Chicago successfully reached 600,222 students of all ages, races, ethnic backgrounds and physical capabilities, including at-risk youth in twelve Chicago-area and northwestern Indiana counties.
