The Junior Achievement Elementary School Programs focus on seven grade-specific curricula for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The curriculum correlates with the schools' learning standards in Social Studies and introduces students to their important roles as individuals, workers, and consumers in the economy. Students also explore career opportunities and the relationship between staying in school and future economic success. The seven program themes extend from the self and family to global relations.
Volunteers share their life experiences through stimulating, age-appropriate activities.
These programs promote important life concepts that foster individual success. JA additionally selects and informs the teachers and schools of JA Programs. Once volunteers begin teaching, JA provides continuing support for all involved.
