ABOUT JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT​


About JA Worldwide 
JA Worldwide has been nominated for 2023 Nobel Prize! 
Junior Achievement Worldwide® (JA)  is one of the world’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy.  Since its founding in 1919, JA has contributed to business and economic education of over 150 million young people around the world. JA  is an innovator in empowering young people to own their future economic success in the global marketplace. JA’s programs use experiential learning to inspire students to dream big, reach their potential, and contribute to the vitality of their local communities and the world economy. 
OUR GLOBAL VISION
Young people have the skillset and
​
mindset to build thriving communities.


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 environm
ent 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.
OUR GLOBAL MISSION
JA inspires and prepares young

people to succeed in a global economy.
Programme Impact
​JA continues to impact students and volunteers alike in a significant manner, as illustrated through the following.
Volunteers who facilitated in a JA program:
  • Enjoyed significant satisfaction, and real contribution as facilitation is very hands-on;
  • Enjoyed the challenge in a non-work environment;
  • Considered their efforts as a contribution to personal development.
Students who attended a JA program:
  • ​Better appreciate real world concepts and skills; 
  • Understand the importance of staying in school;
  • Feel encouraged to become entrepreneurs;
  • Understand the relevance of basic skills, such as financial literacy.
Teachers who witnessed JA efforts:
  • Have expressed high praise for JA programs;
  • Confirm that their students enjoyed JA; and 
  • Credit volunteers as a major factor, saying that they bring an outside business perspective into the classroom and serve as positive role models for the students. ​​
Educators agree that JA students score higher that non-participating students regarding:
  • Securing a job;
  • Acting professionally;
  • Taking on leadership roles; and 
  • Resolving conflicts.
