Junior Achievement of Idaho

Description

Junior Achievement is Idaho’s leading organization dedicated to educating students grade K- 12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy though experimental programs. JA’s programs 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.

Volunteers are the heart of Junior Achievement and play a key role in bringing JA to life! Mentors carry out a key part of JA program delivery- inspiring and empowering Idaho’s youth. Mentors share their personal, professional experiences and skills with students in our community, and help them make a connection between what they are learning in school and what they will need to succeed in work and life.
