Through digitally-enabled, in-school and after-school learning, JA students gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to realize the opportunities, and realities, of work, school, and life.

JA experiences and events empower young people to think about and plan their futures, supported by our network of educators, corporate partners and volunteers. JA students consider how the career paths they take, the financial decisions they make – and perhaps the companies they create – will be not only successful, but also have positive social and environmental impact.

Students benefit on this journey from the mentorship and inspiration of our JA network – professionals who share real-world experience of navigating, shaping, and re-shaping their own stories.

I interviewed my dad on video in his final weeks. When I asked about his work and finding meaning through helping others, he responded, “I don’t think you can be focused on, ‘Oh gee, I want to make a difference.’ It has to be spontaneous. If it’s not…there’s some kind of egotistical thing going on. That’s a red flag. You hope you impact people on the deepest level you are capable of at the time. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don’t. You’re trying.
