About JA Singapore
Incorporated in 2008, we gained charity status in 2010. We are supported by leading organizations in Singapore, some of which are represented on our Board. Since January 2008, JA Singapore has educated over 231,000 students from Kindergarten to University about work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy. Our programs use hands-on activities to help young people understand the economics of life. In partnership with businesses and educators, JA Singapore brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential.
JA students demonstrate a significant understanding of economics and business concepts — particularly those students who participate in programmes at consecutive grade levels - and have a greater understanding of the world and clearer expectations for the future.
Volunteers take pride in being role models and know from those “magic moments” they are making a difference.
Educators invite JA Singapore into their classrooms because JA volunteers and materials support teachers by providing an exciting learning environment that gives students a real-world perspective. JA programme contents align with curriculum standards to help teachers achieve their students’ learning objectives.
Business and foundations understand the tremendous need for well-educated work force and the value of contributing to the future success of today’s young people.
