So, what, really, is Junior Achievement all about?   The organization explains it this way:

“Junior Achievement has always been about empowering youth to own their future economic success. It also connects students to area volunteers from our business community to create mentorship opportunities. These mentors share their life-experiences to inspire the next generation to turn their own “big ideas” into profitable realities. Students complete the programs feeling motivated to explore their interests and develop a plan for their futures armed with the tools needed to achieve prosperity.
This past year has inspired us to add new programs to our traditional methods to increase access for students and to meet them wherever they are. These programs are provided at no cost to students or
educators due to generous area partners, grants, and fundraising events.  Junior Achievement (JA) is the world’s largest organization dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy. Locally, JA service approximately 4,200 students through experiential, hands-on programs offered via in-person, virtual, and blended-learning
program delivery.”
