Junior Achievement helps kids dream.
Since 1953, our programs have brought relevance to those dreams by providing the tools kids need to make their dreams come true. For FIFTY-FIVE YEARS in Northeastern New York kids with dreams have learned to understand and respect the free enterprise system through their JA participation. Most importantly, they have developed the skills and knowledge to be successful. During the 2007-08 school year more than 4 million students participated nationally, while more than 24,000 young people throughout Northeastern New York were involved.
