We believe it’s our responsibility to empower the next generation - to equip your youth with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful and pursue their dreams. These are our kids, grandchildren, future colleagues and community leaders.Students participating in JA programs overall are more knowledgeable about developing good money management habits and more prepared than their peers for the future workforce.

JA’s programs ignite a spark so our students can experience the opportunities and grasp the realities of work and life in the 21st Century. JA, along with a coalition of business leaders and educators, come together to help students embark on their own pathway to success.

We primarily serve low-income Hispanic students where families pay higher prices than higher-income households for nearly every basic necessity. JA’s tools create solutions to eradicate generational poverty in our community because financial ignorance is too great a cost.
